Question

33kilometers per liter. He drives 462 km and gas is $1.36 per liter. How does the gas used for this trip cost?

Answer 1

$19.04

Explanation:

We can use ratio to solve this question

This would be written as

33 km per liter

or

33:1

Now we find out the multiplier we need to use to get from 33 to 462

462 / 33 = 14

Now we Multiply both sides by 14 to find out answer

So 33 becomes 462

And 1 becomes 14

We now know that the journey uses 14 liters

The second part of the question asks us to calculate the Price

We are told the price of one liter is $1.36

Then we multiply 14 by 1.36

14 x $1.36 = $19.04

Therefore the price of the trip is $19.04

Answer 2

$19.04 is the cost

Explanation:

462/33 gives you how many liters of gas used for the trip. then you multiply that number(14) by 1.36 as get 19.04.
