Question

Tara is leaving home to attend college the drive covers a total distance of 1100 mi terrace car can travel 400 miles on a full tank of gas how many tanks of gas will Terry car need for the entire trip

Answer 1

Terry car will need 3 full tanks to complete the total distance.

Explanation:

Given:

Total distance to be covered = 1100 miles

distance travel in full tank =400 miles.

We need to find the number of tanks Terry car needs.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

the number of tanks Terry car needs can be calculated by dividing Total distance to be covered by distance travel in full tank.

framing in equation form we get;

number of tanks Terry car needs =
`(1100)/(400)= 2.75\ tanks`

number of tanks cannot be decimal value.

Hence Terry car will need 3 full tanks to complete the total distance.
