You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are on a 650-mile trip by car.
Your car used 8 gallons of gas to travel the first 210 miles of the trip.
If you stop at this point and fill the car's 18 gallon gas tank, will you make it the rest of the way?
:
Find the miles per gallon: 210 mi used 8 gallons = 26.25 mi/gal
:
Find the remaining distance after fill-up
650-210 = 440 mi
:
Find how far you can go on 18 gallon
18 * 26.25 = 472.5 miles, so you could make it the rest of the way
