Question 510728: If you travel 1460 miles in a vehicle with 8 mpg, how much would gas cost at $5 per gallon?
I tried dividing the 8 mpg into 1460 miles and came up with 182.5. Dividing that by 5 gave me 36.5 and multiplying it gave me 912.5. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1460 mi/8 mi/gal = 182.5 gallons
-------
182.5 gal * 5 dollar/gal = $912.50
--------
If you include the units, you know if you've done the appropriate operation.
------
182.5 gal / (5 $/gal) = 36.5 gal^2/$ not sensible units
