Question

Marta drove her car 448 miles before it ran out of gas. When she started her trip, her car had 14 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would she need to travel 84,480 feet?

Answer 1

The quantity of gallons of gas would she need to travel 84,480 feet is 0.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distance Marta drove her car before it ran out of gas = 448 miles

The gallons of gas required to cover 448 miles = 14 gallons

she need to travel 84,480 feet

We know that

1 mile = 5280 feet

Therefore

84,480 feet = 16 miles

The gallons of gas required to cover 16 miles =
`(16 * 14)/(448)`

= 0.5

The gallons of gas required to cover 84,480 feet (16 miles) = 0.5 gallons
