Question

A fishing boat uses 95 gallons of fuel on a full-day fishing trip and 65 gallons of fuel on a half-day trip. Find the total number of gallons of fool used in 22 full-day trips and 16 hall-day trips.

Answer 1

The total number of gallons of fuel used in 22 full-day trips and 16 half-day trips is 307 gallons.

Explanation:

To find the total number of gallons of fuel used, we have to multiply the used amount of fuel for a full day and a half day to their respective amounts.

In this case, the total number of gallons used for full day trips would be:

`9 (1)/(2) \ gallons \ \cdot 22 \ full-day \ trips`

`= (9 (1)/(2) \cdot 22) \ gallons`

`= 209 \ gallons`

And the total number of gallons used for half day trips would be:

`6 (1)/(8) \ gallons \ \cdot 16 \ half-day \ trips`

`= (6 (1)/(8) \cdot 16) \ gallons`

`= 98 \ gallons`

Hence, the total number of gallons used for the full day trips would be 209 gallons, while the total number of gallons for the half day trips would be 98 gallons.

Therefore, the total number of gallons would be (209 + 98) gallons which is equal to 307 gallons.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

The total number of gallons is 3,130

Explanation:

The fishing boat uses 95 gallons of fuel when used for a full-day fishing trip. It's also known that a half-day trip needs 65 gallons of fuel.

It's required to find the total number of gallons needed for 22 full-day trips and 16 half-day trips.

22 full-day trips * 95 gallons = 2,090 gallons

16 half-day trips * 65 gallons = 1,040 gallons

Total gallons used: 2,090 gallons + 1,040 gallons = 3,130 gallons.

The total number of gallons is 3,130
