Question

Harry fills up his Jeep with gasoline and notes that the odometer reading is 23,529.6 miles. The next time he fills up his Jeep, he pays for 10 gallons of gasoline he notes his odometer reading is 23,640.6 miles. How many miles per gallon did he get? (Round the answer to the nearest 10th if necessary.)

Answer 1

11.1 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Odometer reading when the jeep is filled up with gasoline = 23,529.6 miles

Odometer reading when the jeep is filled up with 10 gallons of gasoline =23,640.6 miles

We can now go ahead and determine how many miles per gallon Harry got as seen below;

`\begin{gathered} \frac{(Reading\text{ when j}eep\text{ is filled with 10 gallons }-Reading\text{ when j}eep\text{ is filled up)}}{\text{Gallo of gasoline}} \\ =(23640.6-23529.6)/(10)=(111)/(10)=11.1\text{miles per gallon} \end{gathered}`

So Harry got 11.1 miles per gallon
