Question

If you had 3.5 gallons of gas, how far could you travel?

Answer 1

It would depend on how many miles per gallon your car gets

Explanation:

As a general rule, most cars have about 2.5 gallons left in the tank when the gas light comes on. So depending on how many miles you get per gallon, you can probably go anywhere between 30-60 miles.

Answer 2

To solve this problem, we first need to understand the concept of fuel efficiency which is usually measured in miles per gallon (mpg). In this instant, let's take the fuel efficiency as 25 miles per gallon. To find out how far you can travel with 3.5 gallons of gas, you need to multiply the volume of gas you have by the distance you can travel on a single gallon.

So, if your car's fuel efficiency is 25 miles per gallon, and you know that you have 3.5 gallons of gas, the calculation you need to make is as follows:

Distance = Volume of gas * Fuel Efficiency

Fuel Efficiency = 25 miles per gallon,
Volume = 3.5 gallons

Distance = 3.5 gallons * 25 miles per gallon

Following this calculation, you'll find that the 3.5 gallons of gas will allow you to travel .5 miles. This calculation means that with a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon, and 3.5 gallons of gas, you can travel a distance of

Answer: 87.5 miles.
