Shonda’s car gets an average of 27 miles per gallon. Gas costs $2.25 per gallon and she drives 892 miles to get from Baltimore, MD to Orlando, FL. What are the conversion factors she could use to calculate the cost of gas to get from Baltimore to Orlando? How much will she spend on gas?
3. How many miles can you drive, if your car gets 25.30 miles per gallon and you have 12.00 gallons of gas?
4. What distance in miles can you drive in your new Prius hybrid, if your car gets 48.0 miles per gallon and you have 15.5 gallons of gas?
5. How much money will it cost you to drive 104.5 miles if your hybrid gets 46.00 miles per gallon and gas costs $2.989/gallon?
Driving across the desert, the sign says 79.5 miles to the next gas station. If your car
gets 21.2 miles/gallon, and you have exactly 4.61 gallons of gas remaining in your
car, do you have enough fuel to get to the next gas stop?
