Jake has a Car with an 8-Gallon fuel tank.
\n" ); document.write( " Jake fills his tank with gas and then drives 60 miles to a friend's house.
\n" ); document.write( " when he gets to his friend's house he has 6 gallons left in his fuel tank.
\n" ); document.write( " how many miles can jake travel on a full tank of gas?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "First find out how many miles he gets from 1 gal.
\n" ); document.write( "If he travels 60 mi and uses 2 gal, (6 gal left) then \"60%2F2\" = 30 mi on 1 gal of gas.
\n" ); document.write( "then on a full tank of 8 gal he can go; 8 * 30 = 240 mi
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
