Six gallons of gas cost $11.34. What would be the cost for 22 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

First, we want to find the cost of each gallon of gas. Since $11.34 is the cost of 6 gallons of gas, dividing it by 6 would find the cost of each gallon of gas. 11.34/6 = 1.89, so 1 gallon of gas costs $1.89.

Next, we need to find the cost for 22 gallons of gas. Since we know 1 gallon of gas costs $1.89, we can find the cost of 22 gallons by multiplying 1.89 x 22

1.89 x 22 = 41.58

So 22 gallons of gas costs $41.58

Answer 2

6 gallons = $11.34. First, we want to find out how much 1 gallon of gas is, so we must divide both sides of the equation by 6. ==> 6 gallons = $11.34 ==> 1 gallon = $1.89.

Now that we know that 1 gallon of gas is $1.89, we can simply multiply by 22 to get the amount. ==> 1 gallon = $1.89 ==> 22 gallons = $41.58

Therefore, 22 gallons of gas is $41.58.
