Question

A compact car will drive three miles east, five miles west, and then 13 miles east again. The car 1 gets 40 miles per gallon, and there is 4 of a gallon of gas left in the tank. Compute the relative distance and the total distance. Then decide if there is enough fuel for the trip.

Show all the work please

Answer 1

3+5+13= 21 miles total
-----------------------------
( 40 mi/gal ) x ( 1/4 gal ) = 10 mi
There is enough gas to go 10 miles
so, there is not enough gas for the trip
