a cars tank can hold 17 gallons of gas on the freeway and i get 28 miles per gallon and i drive 32 miles whats the amount of gas in my tank
To find the amount of gas in your tank after driving 32 miles, you can use the formula:
Gas used = Distance driven / Miles per gallon
In this case, the distance driven is 32 miles and the mileage is 28 miles per gallon. So the calculation would be:
Gas used = 32 miles / 28 miles per gallon
Calculating this, we have:
Gas used = 1.142 gallons
Since your car's tank can hold 17 gallons, the amount of gas remaining in your tank would be:
Gas remaining = Tank capacity - Gas used
Gas remaining = 17 gallons - 1.142 gallons
Gas remaining = 15.858 gallons
Therefore, the amount of gas in your tank after driving 32 miles is approximately 15.858 gallons.
