Problema Solution
When he left vacation, the odometer in Carl's car read 32,654 mi. When he returned, it read 33,895 mi. If he used 54.7 gal of gas, his many miles per gallon did he get?
Answer provided by our tutors
Carl traveled 33,895 - 32,654 = 1,241 mi.
He used 54.7 gal per 1,241 mi, if he used x miles per gallon we can write
x : 1 = 1,241 : 54.7
x = 22.69 mi per gal
Carl used 22.69 miles per gallon.
