Question 476763: So lets say that you want to mow the lawn, but you need to figure out how much money you should spend on gas for the mower. Lets just make an estimate that a half of a gallon can mow 1 lawn (lawn meaning just the front or back of the house). Also, lets say that it costs 3 dollars per gallon. Now you want to mow 5 lawns, how much money for gas do you need? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! half a gallon per lawn.
5 lawns.
5 * 1/2 gallon = 2.5 gallons
3 dollars times 2.5 gallons = 7.5 dollars.
