Question

Chloe's compact car has a mileage rating of 30 mpg on the highway. She has 9 gallons remaining in her gas tank. What is the estimated range of the vehicle before it runs out of fuel?

300 miles
33 miles
270 miles
51 miles

Answer 1

To calculate the estimated range of Chloe's compact car before it runs out of fuel, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Range} = \text{Mileage} \times \text{Remaining Gallons}
\]

Given that the mileage rating is 30 miles per gallon (mpg) and there are 9 gallons remaining, the calculation would be:

\[
\text{Range} = 30 \text{ mpg} \times 9 \text{ gallons} = 270 \text{ miles}
\]

Therefore, the estimated range of the vehicle before it runs out of fuel is **270 miles**.
