On a recent trip, George traveled 300 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "The number of miles of highway driving was 4 times the number of miles of city driving.
\n" ); document.write( " If his car gets 20 miles to the gallon in city driving,and 30 miles to the gallon on the highway,
\n" ); document.write( "how much gas did he use?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let c = no. of city miles
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "4c = no. of highway miles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the number of city miles
\n" ); document.write( "c + 4c = 300
\n" ); document.write( "5c = 300
\n" ); document.write( "c = 300/5
\n" ); document.write( "c = 60 city miles
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "4(60) = 240 highway miles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the amt of gas (g)
\n" ); document.write( "g = \"60%2F20\" + \"240%2F30\"
\n" ); document.write( "g = 3 + 8
\n" ); document.write( "g = 11 gallons of gas
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
