Question

( 10 POINTS)

You destination is 100 miles away and your fuel gauge shows that you gas tank is one-quarter full. Your tank holds 16 gallons of gas and your car averages about 20 miles per gallon. Do you need to stop for gas?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

If the tank is 1/4 full and the max amount that the tank can hold is 16, this means that there is 4 gallons in the tank

4 times 20 = 80

Meaning you only have 80 miles of gas left to drive with.

Answer 2

Explanation:

yes you have 16*1/4 = 4 gallons of gas in the tank, and we all know the gas gauges are not too accurate as they get low, there could be a lot less :0

but if you did have 4 gallons, and you could get 20 MPH, then you will only go

4*20 = 80 miles... have a nice 20 mile walk :/ or get gas , your choice :P
