Question

Marty only has 5 miles left until his tank is empty. he pulls into the gas station and gets 13.2 gallons of gas. now his display reads 313 miles until empty. what is his average fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon)?

Answer 1

Marty's average fuel efficiency is 23.33 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Marty's average fuel efficiency in miles per gallon, we need to divide the number of miles traveled by the amount of gas consumed. First, we need to find the difference in miles before and after refueling: 313 miles - 5 miles = 308 miles traveled. Then, we divide this by the amount of gas consumed: 308 miles ÷ 13.2 gallons = 23.33 miles per gallon.
