Problema Solution

If a car gets 24 miles to the gallon. If the gas tank holds 11.5 gallons and the fuel gauge shows the tank at 1/4 full, can the car reach the destination 74 miles away before getting a refill.

(1/4)*11.5*24 = 11.5*6 = 69 mi

69 < 74

The car can not reach the destination of 74 miles before getting a refill.
