A car has a 16-gallon fuel tank. When driven on a highway, it has a gas mileage of 30 miles per gallon. The gas mileage (also called "fuel efficiency") tells us the number of miles the car can travel for a particular amount of fuel (one gallon of gasoline, in this case). After filling the gas tank, the driver got on a highway and drove for a while.

How many miles has the car traveled if it has the following amounts of gas left in the tank (15 galllons)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

The car has travelled for 30 miles.

Amount of gallons in fuel tank = 16 gallons

Gas mileage = 30 miles per gallon.

Since the driver has 15 gallons left, the number of miles that the car traveled will be:

= (16miles - 15 miles) × 30

= 1 mile × 30

= 30 miles

The car travelled for 30 miles.
