Question

Ann 's car can go 132 miles on 4 gallons of gas. During a drive last weekend, Ann used 5 gallons of gas. How far did she drive? Use pencil and paper. Explain how the problem changes if you were given the distance Ann drove last weekend instead of how much gas she used.

Answer 1

Ann traveled 165 miles on 5 gallons of gas

Explanation:

First we must know how many miles are in a gallon (in this situation). Last weekend Ann drove 132 miles with 4 gallons of gas, we can divide to find out how many miles she drove on 1 gallon. 132/4 = 33. This means Ann drove 33 miles on 1 gallon of gas. To get your answer, simply multiply 5 and 33. 5 times 33 = 165.
