Question

The gas tank on a car holds 15.5 gallons if the car goes 387.5 miles on a single tank how many miles per gallon does the car get?

Answer 1

To calculate the miles per gallon (MPG) the car gets, you would divide the total miles driven by the gallons of gas the tank holds.

Here's the calculation:

\[
\text{MPG} = \frac{\text{Total Miles}}{\text{Gallons}} = \frac{387.5 \text{ miles}}{15.5 \text{ gallons}} \approx 25
\]

So, the car gets approximately 25 miles per gallon.
