Question

If your car gets 34 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 330 miles when gasoline costs $3.40 per gallon?

Answer 1

Answer: $33

Explanation:

1 gallon=$3.40

Hence,

Make a proportion:

34 milles - $3.40

330 milles - x gallones

Thus,

`\displaystyle\\x=(330*3.40)/(34) \\\\x=(33*34)/(34)\\\\x=33\ dollars`

Answer 2

$33.

Explanation:

330 miles x (1 gal/34 miles) x ($3.40/gal)= $33.

I hope this helps, have a blessed day! :)
