Miguel's car has a 20-gallon capacity, and Chrustina's car has a 16-gallon capacity. Miguel uses 1.5 gallons of gas per week

1 answer

To analyze Miguel's gas usage, we can determine how many weeks he can go before needing to refuel, given his car's capacity and his weekly usage.

  1. Miguel's Car Capacity: 20 gallons
  2. Weekly Gas Usage: 1.5 gallons per week

To find out how many weeks Miguel can drive before needing to refuel, we can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Number of weeks} = \frac{\text{Car Capacity}}{\text{Weekly Usage}} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Number of weeks} = \frac{20 \text{ gallons}}{1.5 \text{ gallons/week}} = \frac{20}{1.5} \approx 13.33 \text{ weeks} \]

So, Miguel can go approximately 13 weeks before he needs to refuel.
