Question

Frieda had 16 gallons in her tank.her can use gallons for every hour she drives.write an equation to represent the number of gallons in her car

Answer 1

Let’s denote the number of hours Frieda drives as h. If Frieda’s car uses g gallons of gas per hour, then the amount of gas used after h hours would be g*h.

Frieda starts with 16 gallons in her tank. So, the number of gallons left in her tank after h hours would be the initial amount (16 gallons) minus the amount used (g*h).

Therefore, we can represent the number of gallons in her car with the equation:

G=16−g∗h

where:

G is the number of gallons left in her car,

g is the number of gallons her car uses per hour, and

h is the number of hours she drives.

Please replace g with the actual value to get your specific equation.
