Use units do help you answer the question. If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.
Your car gets 33 miles per gasoline, and you drive at an average speed of 44 miles per hour. How much gas do you use in an hour?
To find the gas used in an hour, we need to divide the distance traveled by the fuel efficiency.
Since the car travels at an average speed of 44 miles per hour, it would cover 44 miles in an hour.
Dividing 44 miles by 33 miles per gallon gives us the amount of gas used in an hour:
Gas used = 44 miles / 33 miles per gallon
Gas used = 1.33 gallons
Therefore, you would use 1.33 gallons of gas in an hour.
To calculate the amount of gas used in an hour, we need to determine the gas consumption rate. Since your car gets 33 miles per gallon, it means that it can travel 33 miles using one gallon of gasoline.
To find out how much gas you use in an hour, we need to divide the average speed by the miles per gallon.
Gas used in an hour = Average speed / Miles per gallon
Gas used in an hour = 44 miles per hour / 33 miles per gallon
Gas used in an hour = 1.33 gallons per hour
Therefore, you will use approximately 1.33 gallons of gas in one hour of driving.
To find out how much gas you use in an hour, we need to determine the fuel consumption rate of your car.
Given that your car gets 33 miles per gallon, it means that for every gallon of gasoline, your car can travel 33 miles.
Now, since your driving speed is 44 miles per hour, we can divide the distance traveled (in miles) by the average driving speed (in hours) to determine the time it takes to cover that distance.
Let's use a formula:
Gas used = Distance traveled / Fuel consumption rate
Distance traveled = Average speed x Time taken
From the information provided, the average speed is 44 miles per hour, and we are interested in one hour. Therefore:
Distance traveled = 44 miles/hour x 1 hour = 44 miles.
Now, let's calculate the gas used:
Gas used = 44 miles / 33 miles per gallon
Hence, the gas used in one hour of driving at an average speed of 44 miles per hour is approximately 1.33 gallons (rounded to two decimal places).
