Question 1065091: a car uses 3 gal of gasoline every 117 miles. During the first part of a trip, the car traveled 130 mi in 4 h. If the car.continues to travel at the same average speed and the trip takes a total of 6 h, how many gallons of gasoline will be consumed? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I want to use this equation:
[ miles / hour ] / [ miles / gallon ] = [ gallons / hour ]
then I want to use:
[ gallons / hour ] x [ hours ] = [ gallons ]
---------------------------------------------
[ miles / hour ] / [ miles / gallon ] = [ gallons / hour ]
and
[ gallons / hour ] x [ hours ] = [ gallons ]
5 gallons will be consumed
