Question

DIG DEEPER! A low fuel warning appears when a particular car has

0.0146 of a tank of gas remaining. The car holds 18.5 gallons of gas
and can travel 36 miles for each gallon used. How many miles can the
car travel after the low fuel warning appears?

Answer 1

0.5256 miles

Explanation:

The car drives 36 miles for every gallon.

That means it drives 36 miles x the number of gallons left.

If the low fuel warning is on, it has only 0.0146 gallons left.

36 x 0.0146 = 0.5256 (That means it only travels 0.5256 miles)
