"My" family drives 225 miles each week and the car can travel 27 miles on one gallon of gasoline. How much gasoline does the car use in one year?

I got 8.33 (225 milesx 1 gallon/27 miles) Is this correct? Thanks for checking.

Not close. 8.33 gallons is how much gasoline the family uses in a week. Multiply that by 52 weeks in a year if you want to know the use in a full year.

To calculate the amount of gasoline used in one year, we first need to find the number of gallons used per week and then multiply it by the number of weeks in a year.

Given that "your" family drives 225 miles each week and the car can travel 27 miles on one gallon of gasoline, you correctly divided 225 miles by 27 miles per gallon to find the number of gallons used in a week.

The calculation is: 225 miles / 27 miles per gallon = 8.33 gallons per week.

Now, to find the amount of gasoline used in one year, we need to multiply the gallons used per week by the number of weeks in a year.

Assuming there are 52 weeks in a year, the calculation is: 8.33 gallons per week x 52 weeks = 433.32 gallons per year.

Therefore, the car uses approximately 433.32 gallons of gasoline in one year.
