Question

A go-kart's gas tank holds 6 gallons of gasoline which will last 228 miles. How many miles can the go kart travel on 1 gallon of gasoline?

Answer 1

1 mile of gas will go 38 miles.

Explanation:

If 6 gallons goes 228 miles, how many does 1 gallon go? You would have to divide 228 by 6 in order to find how many miles are in one gallon.

OR, if you prefer algebra:

228 miles/ 6 gallon = (x) miles/ 1 gallon

Which would be 228/6 = x/1
