Your family is taking a long distance trip. You begin with 16 gallons of gas. Your car uses 3 gallons per hour. You will stop to refuel when you are at exactly 1 gallon. How many hours until you will need more gas?

Respuesta :

The gas will be need after exactly 5 hours with 1 gallon left

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of hours gas will survive with 16 gallons of gas will be obtained by dividing the total number of gallons of gas by 3.

So,

Total gallons = 16

We will keep the margin of one gallon so

16-1 = 15

Now,

[tex]\frac{15}{3} =5[/tex]

So the gas will be need after exactly 5 hours with 1 gallon left
