if a car averages 10 3/8 miles to a gallon of gas, how many miles can it travel on 18 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, you will take the fuel efficiency of the vehicle (which is 10.375 miles/gallon), and multiply that by the number of gallons (18 gallons). This answer will give us how far this vehicle will be able to travel.

(10.375 miles/gallon)*(18 gallons) = The gallons unit will cancel, and you will just be left with the miles traveled, which is 186.75 (or 186 3/4) miles.
