Question

Convert the rate 175 miles per 5 gallons to feet per quart.​

Answer 1

175 miles per 5 gallons = 46200 feet per quart.

Answer 2

Answer: 46200 feet per quart.

Explanation:

We know that 1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 mile = 5280 feet

Therefore , 5 gallons = 5 x 4 quarts

= 20 quarts (i)

175 miles = 175 x 5280 feet

i.e. 175 miles = 924000 feet (ii)

Now , 175 miles per 5 gallons =
`\frac{\text{ 175 miles }}{\text{5 gallons}}`

`=\frac{ 924000 \text{ feet}}{\text{20 quarts}}` [From (i)and (ii)]

`\frac{46200\text{ feet }}{1\text{ quart}}\\\\=46200\text{ feet per quart}`

Hence, 175 miles per 5 gallons = 46200 feet per quart.
