A Pre-Algebra word problem

Question

A certain hybrid car can travel 1-4/11 times as far as a similar non hybrid car can, each on one gallon of gasoline. If the non hybrid car can travel 33 miles per gallon of gasoline, how far can the hybrid travel on 4/5 gallon of gasoline?

Answer 1

If the non-hybrid car travels 33 mi per gal of gas, then the hybrid car travels 1 4/11 * 33 = 15/11 * 33 = 45 mi per gal.

 

Therefore, the hybrid car can travel 4/5 * 45 = 36 mi on 4/5 gal of gas
