Answer 2

You will have 3 oil changes.

Explanation:

The automaker of your new car recommends an oil change after the first 5,000 miles and every 3,000 miles there after.

Considering 52 weeks in a year.

You plan to drive the car 250 miles a week means you drive for
`250*52=13000` miles per year.

So, you will have 1st change at 5000 miles.

Now after 5000 miles you have 1 oil change.

`13000-5000= 8000` miles (remaining)

Then second change at 3000 miles.

`8000-3000=5000` miles

Then again third change at 3000 miles.

`5000-3000=2000` miles

Hence, you will have 3 oil changes.
