Asked by Amy

Trey can drive his car 130 miles on 4 gallons of gas. At this rate, if gas cost $ 3.45 per gallon how much will it cost to drive 260 miles?
Answered by HI
what did you get when you tried it out?
Answered by Amy
I divided 4 into 260 and got 65 miles and then times it by 3.45 and got $224.25
Answered by HI
okay let me explain ONE GALLON is $3.45. So first you have to see how much 4 gallons cost by multiplying 3.45 and 4 which gives you 13.8. Do u understand me?
Answered by Amy
Yes
Answered by Ms. Sue
Wow, Amy! Does it make sense to spend over two hundred dollars to drive 260 miles?

130 / 4 = 32.5 miles per gallon

Try the rest of the problem again.

Answered by Ms. Sue
You're on the wrong track, HI.

Answered by HI
and then you....here let me show you...

cost
-----
miles

set this up:

13.8 x
---- = ---
130 260

13.8 represents cost of 4 gallons, so you basically put the cost over ur miles. FIRST u cross multiply, so u multiply 13.8 * 260 and then 130*x
it will look like this:

3588= 130x

u divide 3588/130
when you divide you get the answer 27.6.

My answer is 27.6 :)

To Mrs. Sue
wait so my answer is not correct?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Trey's car gets 32.5 miles per gallon.

He drives 260 miles.

260 / 32.5 = 8 gallons

8 * $3.45 = $27.60 to drive 260 miles.

We got he same answer, HI, but in different ways.
