Question

Darnell's truck can travel 18 miles on 1 gallon of gasoline. How many gallons of gasoline will Darnell need to travel 315 miles? Use the formula d/m=g, where m represents miles per gallon, d is distance traveled, and g is the number of gallons of gasoline used.

Answer 1

Answer: 17.5 gallons

Explanation:

The formula to solve this question will be: g = d/m

where, g = number of gallons of gasoline used

d = distance travelled = 315 miles

m = miles per gallon = 18 miles/gallon

Therefore, the number of gallons of gasoline that Darnell will need to travel 315 miles will be:

g = d/m

g = 315/18

= 17.5 gallons
