Answer: 16.7 gallon
Explanation:
Given: The car can drive 30.3 miles when 1 gallon of gasoline is used.
Distance covered = 506.3 miles
Thus for 30.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used= 1 gallon
For 506.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used=[tex]\frac{1}{30.3}\times 506.3=16.7gallon[/tex]
Thus the amount of gasoline used is 16.7 gallons.
Answer : The number of gallons of gasoline needed are 16.7 gallons
Explanation :
As we are given that the car traveled 30.3 mi/gal. Now we have to determine the number of gallons of gasoline needed in 506.03 miles.
As, 30.3 miles car traveled in = 1 gallon
and, 1 miles car traveled in = [tex]\frac{1\text{ mile}}{30.3\text{mile}}\times 1 \text{ gallon}[/tex]
So, 506.3 miles car traveled in = [tex]\frac{506.3\text{ mile}}{30.3\text{mile}}\times 1 \text{ gallon}[/tex]
= 16.7 gallons
Therefore, the number of gallons of gasoline needed are 16.7 gallons
