To find Pira's speed, we divide the distance he traveled (825 miles) by the time it took him to travel that distance (17 hours).
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = 825 miles / 17 hours
Speed ≈ 48.53 miles/hour
Therefore, Pira's speed was approximately 48.53 miles per hour.
To find Pira's gas mileage, we divide the distance he traveled (825 miles) by the amount of gas he used (38 gallons).
Gas Mileage = Distance/Gas Used
Gas Mileage = 825 miles / 38 gallons
Gas Mileage ≈ 21.71 miles/gallon
Therefore, Pira's gas mileage was approximately 21.71 miles per gallon.
To find the unit price he paid for gas, we divide the total cost of gas ($125) by the amount of gas he used (38 gallons).
Unit Price = Cost/Gas Used
Unit Price = $125 / 38 gallons
Unit Price ≈ $3.29/gallon
Therefore, Pira paid approximately $3.29 per gallon of gas.
