the mpg on a car is 23 city 32 highway so how much gas does this car use?

Answer 1

To calculate how much gas this car uses, we need to first determine the average mileage based on the city and highway MPGs.

Average MPG = (City MPG + Highway MPG) / 2
Average MPG = (23 + 32) / 2
Average MPG = 55 / 2
Average MPG = 27.5

This means that the car averages 27.5 miles per gallon.

To calculate how much gas the car uses for a certain distance, you would divide the distance by the average MPG.

For example, if you drive 275 miles:

Gas used = Distance / Average MPG
Gas used = 275 / 27.5
Gas used = 10 gallons

So, for a 275 mile trip, this car would use 10 gallons of gas.
