Question

A certain hybrid car can travel 1 4/11 times as far as a similar nonhybrid car can, each one gallon of gasoline. If the nonhybrid car can travel 33 miles per gallon of gasoline, how far can the hybrid travel on 4/5 gallon of gasoline?

Answer 1

On 4/5 gallon of gasoline, hybrid car will travel 36 miles of distance.

Explanation:

Suppose, non hybrid car travel "x" distance in 1 gallon of gasoline

then, hybrid will travel " 1 4/11* x" distance in 1 gallon of gasoline

Given that, non hybrid car travel, x = 33 miles per gallon

Then, hybrid car travel, 1 4/11*x = 1 4/11* 33 = 45 miles per gallon

On 1 gallon of gasoline hybrid car travel= 45 miles

On 4/5 gallon of gasoline hybrid car will travel= 4/5*45= 36 miles

On 4/5 gallon of gasoline, hybrid car will travel 36 miles of distance.
