What distance did the car travel if we used 11 gallons of gas to travel the mountains?
use a tape diagram to show how you found the miles traveled.
I don't know how to solve this question
it doesnt say, but I over- looked it and its a two part answer the first question says: We traveled 135 miles to the lake on 5 gallons of gas.
we had to figure out the unit rate which was 27 miles per one gallon.
Yes. :-)
To find the distance traveled by the car, we need to know the car's mileage, which is the number of miles the car can travel on one gallon of gas. Once we have the mileage, we can multiply it by the number of gallons of gas used.
Unfortunately, the information about the car's mileage is missing in the given question, so we cannot determine the exact distance traveled.
However, if we assume a hypothetical mileage for the car, let's say 25 miles per gallon, we can use this value to find the distance traveled.
To create a tape diagram, we can represent the number of gallons used by drawing a rectangle divided into 11 equal sections. Next to each section, we can write the corresponding number from 1 to 11 to represent the gallon number. Then, we can label the other side of the rectangle with "25 miles" to represent the hypothetical mileage.
To find the total distance traveled, we can count how many 25-mile sections are filled in the rectangle. Multiply this number by 25 to get the distance traveled.
Note that this solution is based on an assumption about the car's mileage. If you have the actual mileage, you can replace the assumed value with the correct one to calculate the precise distance traveled.
