Q: Sandra drove for 148.2 miles and used 9.9 gallons of gas. Estimate the number of miles Sandra�s car gets per gallon.

A:

First, round the number of miles driven 148.2 to the nearest tens place to get 150 miles. Apply the same rounding to 9.9 to get 10.

So Sandra drove about 150 miles on 10 gallons of gas

Now divide the number of miles into the number of gallons to get

So her car gets roughly 15 miles per gallon
