You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You want to find ( dollars ) / ( mile ) so you
can multiply ( miles ) x ( dollars ) / (mile )
and come up with dollars.
-------------
( dollars / gallon ) / ( miles / gallon ) = dollars / mile )
+%28+4+%2F+1+%29+%2F+%28+12+%2F+1+%29+=+1%2F3+ dollars / mile, and
+176%2A%281%2F3%29+=+58.67+
You need $58.67 for gas
check:
+58.67+%2F+4+=+14.6675+ gallons
+12%2A14.6675+=+176.01+ miles
OK
