Every 34 miles, you get one gallon. So when you build an equation it will be: 610 miles / (34 miles/hr) = 610 miles x 1 hr / 34 miles

OpenStudy (chiunlee12):

sorry, gallons instead of hr

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

So I do that math?

OpenStudy (chiunlee12):

So: 610 miles x 1 gallon / 34 miles. If you simplify that, it would give: 610 x 1 gallon / 34

OpenStudy (chiunlee12):

and yes, solve that, and you get the answer

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

It's giving me this number 17.9411765

OpenStudy (chiunlee12):

thats probably the answer

OpenStudy (chiunlee12):

It asks to round the value to the nearest gallon, so when you round it it gives 18 gallons
