Question

A motorcyclist rides 945.50 miles, using 30.5 gallons of gasoline. What is the mileage, in miles per gallon

Answer 1

31 miles per gallon

divide distance travelled by gallons of gas used

=
`(945.50)/(30.5)` = 31 miles per gallon

Answer 2

31 miles per gallon.

Explanation:

A motorcyclist rides 945.50 miles using 30.5 gallons of gasoline.

To calculate the mileage we use the formula :

mileage =
`\frac{Distance}{\text{the amount of used gasoline}}`

The mileage of the motor cycle =
`(945.5)/(30.5)`

= 31 miles per gallon

The mileage is 31 miles per gallon.
