Question

mona lives in florida. she drives 550 miles to texas. her car's tank holds 15 gallons of gas and she gets an average of 25 miles per gallon of gas. if mona fills up her gas tank before she leaves, how many more times will she have to fill up the tank to drive to texas and back to florida?

Answer 1

2 * 550 = 1,100 miles round trip

1,100 / 25 = 44 gallons

44/15 = 3 tanks of gas

She'll need to fill up 2 more times after she leaves Florida.

Answer 2

550 mi to Texasl 2*550 = 1100 mi for the round trip.
1100 miles x (1 gallon/25 miles) = ? gallons.
?gallons x (1 tank/15 miles) = ? tanks and round to whole number.
