Question

A car travels 30 miles on one gallon of gasoline. Gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon. Calculate the cost of driving the car 300 miles. Multiple choice question.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of driving the car 300 miles, we need to know how many gallons of gasoline the car will use for that distance. Since the car travels 30 miles on one gallon of gasoline, we can calculate the number of gallons needed for 300 miles by dividing 300 by 30.

300 miles ÷ 30 miles per gallon = 10 gallons

So, the car will need 10 gallons of gasoline to travel 300 miles.

Since gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon, we can find the cost of driving the car 300 miles by multiplying the number of gallons (10) by the cost per gallon ($4.00).

10 gallons × $4.00 per gallon = $40.00

Therefore, the cost of driving the car 300 miles would be $40.00.

Answer 2

Answer : The cost would be $40.00.

Why:

You want to travel 300 miles so you have to make 30 miles into 300. To do that, you times 30 by 10. 30x10=100. Now you have to do it to the other part too, so one gallon of gasoline turns into ten gallons of gasoline. If it costs $4.00 for one gallon, for ten gallons it would cost $40.00. That is how you get the answer.
