Question

Over the weekend, Statton and Tyler drove to Montana. Now they're on they're way home. Tyler needs gas, which is 30 miles per gallon for his gas mileage. When he stops at the gas station, he already has 8 gallons of gas in his tank. He buts more gas for $1.50 per gallon. If Tyler spends $16.50 on gas, what is the total distance the boys could travel? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

hint: if he spends $16.50 and gas is $1.50 per gallon, how many gallons did he buy?

add this number to the 8 he already has

then use his gas mileage (30mpg) to determine how many miles he could drive
