Question

How many miles will a car go on a 12.0 gallon tank that gets 40.0 MPG? (mpg 40.0 = 1 gallon)

Answer 1

Answer: The car will travel 480 miles when the tank has 12 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the car is moving with a speed of 40 miles/gallon.

We need to find the distance traveled by the car when the tank is filled with 12 gallons, we use unitary method.

In 1 gallon, the car is travelling 40 miles.

So, in 12 gallons, the car will travel
`12* 40=480` miles

Hence, the car will travel 480 miles when the tank has 12 gallons.
