Question

Which equation could be used to solve the problem? The Petersons' new car can go 32 miles on a gallon of gasoline. At that rate, how far could it go on 8 gallons (d)? A. d = 32 • 8 B. d = 32 + 8 C. d = 8 ÷ 32 D. d = 32 ÷ 8

Answer 1

Easy, the answer is A.

If you can get 32 miles on a gallon of gasoline, and have 8 gallons, take:

32*8=256

So, on 8 gallons of gas, you can go 256 miles.
