Question 499051: My car give 28 miles to the gallon and the cost of gas is $3.65 a gallon and my car has a 15 gallon gas tank. I drive 24 miles round trip each day to work. How much gas to I use traveling to work in 5 days. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! gas costs $3.65 per gallon.
your car gets 28 miles per hallon
your car has a 15 gallon gas tank.
you drive 24 miles round trip each day to work.
5 days times 24 miles per day equals 120 miles a week.
120 miles divided by 28 miles per gallon equals 4.285714286 gallons per week.
4.285714286 * $3.65 = $15.64285714 per week.
if all you did was drive back and forth to work, those 15 gallons in the tank would last you 15 / 4.285714286 = 3.5 weeks.
