Trey can drive his car 130 miles on 4 gallons of gas. At this rate, if gas cost $ 3.45 per gallon how much will it cost to drive 260 miles?
and then you....here let me show you...
cost
-----
miles
set this up:
13.8 x
---- = ---
130 260
13.8 represents cost of 4 gallons, so you basically put the cost over ur miles. FIRST u cross multiply, so u multiply 13.8 * 260 and then 130*x
it will look like this:
3588= 130x
u divide 3588/130
when you divide you get the answer 27.6.
My answer is 27.6 :)
thats mean
Trey's car gets 32.5 miles per gallon.
He drives 260 miles.
260 / 32.5 = 8 gallons
8 * $3.45 = $27.60 to drive 260 miles.
We got he same answer, HI, but in different ways.
thanks Ms. Sue!
r.i.p yes your name is correct r.i.p my ability to understand your sentence
I divided 4 into 260 and got 65 miles and then times it by 3.45 and got $224.25
okay let me explain ONE GALLON is $3.45. So first you have to see how much 4 gallons cost by multiplying 3.45 and 4 which gives you 13.8. Do u understand me?
Yes
You're on the wrong track, HI.
U GUYS ARE BAD AT MATH AND EVERYTHING IN LIFE
what did you get when you tried it out?
Wow, Amy! Does it make sense to spend over two hundred dollars to drive 260 miles?
130 / 4 = 32.5 miles per gallon
Try the rest of the problem again.
To Mrs. Sue
wait so my answer is not correct?
Ms sue
U SUCK AT MATH SO JUST STOP PUTTING SMARTY PANTS AWNSERS BECAUSE U THINK UR SMARTER AND U TO HI JUST STOP U GUY ARENT THAT SMART
