Question

Gas Mileage is how many miles you travel on one gallon of gasoline. A new Honda Accord Hybrid ( part electric, part gasoline ) testes our traveling 432 miles on 8 gallons of gasoline. What is the car’s gas mileage? How fat can it travel on a full tank of 12 1/2 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

Gas Mileage = 54 miles per gallon

Distance traveled = 675 miles

Explanation:

Mileage = Total Miles/Total Gallons

Given,

432 miles travelled (total miles)

in 8 gallons of gas (Total Gallons)

So, the mileage would be:

Gas Mileage = 432/8 = 54 miles per gallon (54 mpg)

The full Tank is 12 1/2 gallons = 12.5 gallons

Since each gallon gives 54 miles, in 12.5 gallons, it will give:

Distance Traveled = 54 * 12.5 = 675 miles
