Question 917712: A truck's odometer reads 34,376.6 miles at the beginning of a trip and 34,636.2 miles at the end. If the trip takes 12.1 gallons of gas, what is the gas mileage in miles per gallon? (Round to the nearest tenth) Answer by CubeyThePenguin(3113) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! trip length = (odometer at the end) - (odometer at the beginning)
= 34636.2 - 34376.6 = 259.6 miles
mileage = 259.6 mi/12.1 gal = 21.5 miles per gallon
