Question

The car gets 30 miles to the gallon. How many miles driven after 2 2/3 gallons of gas gone

Answer 1

80 miles were driven after
`2(2)/(3) gallons` of the gas was used.

Explanation:

The car gets 30 miles in one gallon and we have to calculate the miles driven after 2
`(2)/(3)` gallons of gas was used.

We will use unitary method to solve this question.

∵ In one gallon of gas car runs = 30 miles

∴ In 8/3 gallons the car will cover the distance =
`(8)/(3)(30)` = 8×10 = 80 miles

Therefore the car will be driven 80 miles with
`2(2)/(3) gallons` of gas.
