Question

Gas mileage is the number of miles you can drive on a gallon of gasoline . A test of a new car results in 340milee on 10 gallons of gas . How far could you drive on 40 gallons of Gas ? What is that rate per hour ?

Answer 1

1,360 miles

Explanation:

1) If this new car drove 340 miles on 10 gallons of gas then you would divide 340 by 10:

340miles ÷ 10 gallons = 34 miles/gal

This means that for every gallon this car uses, it travels 34 miles.

2) If you wanted to know how far you can drive on 40 gallons, then simply multiply it with 34 miles/gal

40 × 34 = 1,360 miles

**I'm not sure how to answer the rate per hour, sorry.
