Question

a car gets 36 miles to the gallon. How many miles can the car travel on six and ¾ gallon of gasoline?

Answer 1

For this case we have a mixed number given by:

`6 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {6 * 4 + 3 * 1} {4} = \frac {27} {4}`

We make a rule of three to get the miles that the car can travel.

36 ---------> 1

x ------------>
`\frac {27} {4}`

Where "x" represents the variable that gives the number of miles that the car can travel with
`(27)/(4)`gallons of gasoline

`x = \frac {\frac {27} {4} * 36} {1}\\x = 243`

So, the car can travel 243 miles

ANswer:

243 miles
