I just filled my car with gas we can go 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas and you can hold 14 gallons if I travel exactly 36 miles a day how many days can I drive before I have to fill it up again
14 gal and 25 mpg means you can drive 350 mi on a full tank...14 * 25
36 mi per day for 10 days is 360 mi
so you have to gas up on the 10th day
you can drive for 9 days before refueling
I got 9
To answer this question, we need to calculate how many miles you can drive on a full tank of gas, and then divide that by the number of miles you travel each day to determine how many days you can drive before refueling.
Step 1: Calculate the total mileage on a full tank of gas.
You mentioned that your car can go 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas, and it can hold 14 gallons. So, the total mileage your car can cover on a full tank is 25 miles/gallon * 14 gallons = 350 miles.
Step 2: Determine the number of days you can drive before refueling.
Given that you travel exactly 36 miles each day, if you divide the total mileage on a full tank (350 miles) by your daily travel distance (36 miles), you can find out the number of days you can drive before refueling.
350 miles / 36 miles/day = 9.72 days
Since you can't have a fraction of a day, you would be able to drive for 9 days before needing to fill up your car again.
Therefore, you can drive for approximately 9 days before you have to refill your car with gas.
