Question

Suppose you are taking a school bus that gets 6 miles per gallon. If you will be driving 204 miles, how many gallons of gas will you need?

Answer 1

6 mpg on a 204 mile trip would require:
204/6 = 34 gallons of gas

Answer 2

34: At the minimum, you will only need 34 gallons. If you are driving 204 miles and your bus goes 6 miles per gallon you divide the total miles in which you are driving by the standard miles per gallon.

Proof:

204/6=34
