Question

Ms.O'Malley's cousin lives 1,650 miles away. Ms.O'Malley won a gift card for 100 gallons of gas. If her car can travel 35 miles on each gallon, can she drive round trip to see her cousin on the free gas?

Answer 1

Yes, she can drive round trip on free gas

Explanation:

She gets MPG (miles Per Gallon) of 35

She got 100 gallons of gas for free

So, she has around:

35 * 100 = 3500 miles to travel on that free gas

Now, her cousin lives 1650 miles away. If she were to take a round trip (go and come back), she would need to travel a total of:

1650 + 1650 = 3300 miles

Her free gas would take her 3500 miles and her round trip is 3300 miles, so YES, definitely she will be able to drive up and down with free gas.
