. Darya's car averages 36 miles per gallon. How many gallons of gas will she need for a 480-mile trip? What is the cost of the gas she needs if gas costs $3.12 per gallon?

480 / 360 = 13.3333 gallons

13.33333 * 3.12 = $_________

To find how many gallons of gas Darya will need for her 480-mile trip, divide the total distance by the average miles per gallon of her car.

Number of gallons = Total distance / Average miles per gallon

Number of gallons = 480 miles / 36 miles per gallon

To solve this, we divide 480 by 36:

Number of gallons = 13.33 gallons (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, Darya will need approximately 13.33 gallons of gas for her 480-mile trip.

To find the cost of the gas, multiply the number of gallons needed by the cost per gallon.

Cost of gas = Number of gallons * Cost per gallon

Cost of gas = 13.33 gallons * $3.12 per gallon

To solve this, multiply 13.33 by 3.12:

Cost of gas = $41.54 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the cost of the gas she needs for her 480-mile trip is approximately $41.54.
