Pira drives 825 miles to California. The trip takes him 17 hours. He uses 38 gallons of gas on the trip, which costs him $125. • Find his speed. • Find his gas mileage. • Find the unit price he paid for gas.

Answer 1

To find Pira's speed, we can divide the distance he drove (825 miles) by the time it took him to complete the trip (17 hours).

Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = 825 miles / 17 hours
Speed = 48.53 miles per hour

So Pira's speed was approximately 48.53 miles per hour.

To find Pira's gas mileage, we can divide the distance he drove (825 miles) by the amount of gas he used (38 gallons).

Gas Mileage = Distance/Gas
Gas Mileage = 825 miles / 38 gallons
Gas Mileage = 21.71 miles per gallon

So Pira's gas mileage was approximately 21.71 miles per gallon.

To find the unit price Pira paid for gas, we can divide the total cost of gas ($125) by the amount of gas he used (38 gallons).

Unit Price = Total Cost/Gas
Unit Price = $125 / 38 gallons
Unit Price = $3.29 per gallon

So Pira paid approximately $3.29 per gallon for gas.
