Problema Solution
A car uses 4 tanks of fuel to travel 1800 miles. At this rate, how many tanks of fuel would be required for a trip of 3000 miles?
Answer provided by our tutors
The rate of the car in tanks per mile is equal to the total number of tanks divided by the miles traveled:
4/1800 = 1/450 tanks per mile
For a trip of 3000 mile there will be:
(1/450)*3000 = 20/3 = 3 2/3 tanks of fuel required.
