Question

I have a 16 gallon tank in my car. If it gets 100 miles every 6.2 gallons what is the total miles I get out of a 16 gallon tank

Answer 1

258 miles

Explanation:

# of miles / gallons = # of miles / gallons

let 'm' = # of miles

100/6.2 = m/16

cross-multiply:

6.2m = 1600

m = 1600/6.2

m = 258 round to nearest mile
