It seems there was a misunderstanding regarding the distance from Baltimore to Boston. The approximate driving distance is around 400 miles, not 15.052 miles.
To determine how many times your family will need to refuel, you'll also need to know the fuel efficiency of your vehicle (miles per gallon) and the size of your gas tank (how many gallons it holds).
Here's the process to find out the number of times you need to refuel:
-
Find the total distance: The distance from Baltimore to Boston is approximately 400 miles.
-
Determine fuel efficiency: Check your vehicle's miles per gallon (MPG). Let's say it's 25 MPG.
-
Calculate how far you can go on a full tank:
- If your gas tank holds, for example, 15 gallons, then at 25 MPG, you can drive: \[ 25 \text{ MPG} \times 15 \text{ gallons} = 375 \text{ miles} \]
-
Determine how many refuels are needed:
- If your vehicle can drive 375 miles on a full tank, you'll need to refuel once on a 400-mile trip.
- The total distance of 400 miles minus the distance that can be driven on a full tank (375 miles) means you will run out of fuel after 375 miles and need to refuel once during the journey.
In conclusion, depending on the exact specifications of your vehicle's MPG and tank size, you would likely need to refuel once on your road trip from Baltimore to Boston. If you provide your vehicle's MPG and tank capacity, I can give you a more precise answer!
