You travel on the highway at a constant speed of 70 miles per hour for 1 hour
45 minutes. Your vehicle travels 25 miles per gallon and gasoline costs $2.90 per gallon. How much do you spend on fuel for the trip?

Respuesta :

The total amount spent on fuel on this trip is $14.21.

First find out the distance travelled:

= Speed x Time

= 70 x 1⁴⁵/₆₀

= 122.5 miles

The car takes a gallon of fuel to travel 25 miles and 122.5 miles were traveled. The total amount of fuel used was therefore:

= 122.5 / 25

= 4.9 gallons of fuel

If each gallon costs $2.90, the total amount spent is:

= 4.9 * 2.90

= $14.21

The total amount spent on fuel on this trip is therefore $14.21.
