Question

Maria filled up her car's gas tank and then went on a trip. After she drove 329 miles, she filled her tank with 14 gallons of gas. If she drove the same number of miles on each gallon of gas, how many miles per gallon did she drive?

Answer 1

The constant rate of gas consumption gives an equal number of miles per

gallon of gas.

The number of miles per gallon Maria drove is 23.5 miles per gallon

Reasons:

The known information are;

Initial volume of gas in the tank = The tank was filled up

The distance in miles Maria drove = 329

The number of gallons with which Maria filled the tank = 14 gallons

Number of miles driven on each gallon = The same number of miles

Required:

The number of driven per gallon

Solution:

The number of miles driven per gallon is therefore;

$Miles \ per \ gallon = \dfrac{329 \ miles}{14 \ gallons} = 23.5$

Therefore, Maria drove 23.5 miles per gallon of gas
