Hi!
What do you think it should be? Have you tried solving it urself first?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know how
OpenStudy (abhisar):
ok, the car can do 25 miles in one gallon of fuel then how many gallon it needs to do just one mile?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1.6 km
OpenStudy (abhisar):
Ummm.... No I am asking how much gallons it need to do one mile.
25 miles need 1 gallon
so 1 mile will need 1/25 = ? gallon?

idk this
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
Hint : 1 mile = 1.6 km
Therefore, 25 time 1.6 = 40
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
Therefore, 40 times x = 30
Therefore, 40x = 30
Therefore,x = 30/40
Therefore,x = 3/4
OpenStudy (aaronandyson):
Therefore, x = 0.75 :)!

Go through my calculation and see if you haven't understand anything..
