Mrs. Walters drove 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas. Mr. Walters drove 480 miles on 32 gallons of gas.
a.Find the mileage per gallon for Mrs. Walters car.
b.Find the mileage per gallon for Mr. Walters car.
c.Which car is getting the better mileage per gallon?
Stephen read a 90-page book in 6 days. If he continues reading at the rate, how long will it take him to read a 300-page book?
The distance between Milltown and Summerville is 3.5 inches on a map. If the map scale is 1 inch = 20 miles, what is the actual distance between the towns?
HERE
PART A. 360 % /divide 25=14.4
PART B. 480% /divide 32=15
PART C. mr walters, 15 miles

1. To find the mileage per gallon, divide the miles by the gallons.
2. To find the pages read per day, divide the total number of pages by the number of days.
3. To find the actual distance, multiply the number of inches by the miles per inch.
I'll be glad to check your answers.
1. 14.4 and 15,
15 is better right?
2. 90 divided by 6 = 15
300 divided by 15 = 20 so is 20 the answer?
3. 3 x 20 = 50
0.5 = 1/2
1/2 of 20 = 10
50 + 10 = 60 is the answer 60?
good work, except 3x20 is not 50
The first and second are right. :-)
3. 3.5 * 20 = 70
What about this?
First we need to multiply inches and miles.
3.5 x 20 = 70
😊
The answer is 70
Yes.
a. To find the mileage per gallon for Mrs. Walters' car, divide the total distance she drove (360 miles) by the number of gallons of gas she used (25 gallons).
Mileage per gallon = Total distance / Gallons of gas
Mileage per gallon = 360 miles / 25 gallons
To perform the calculation, divide 360 by 25:
Mileage per gallon = 14.4 miles per gallon
So, Mrs. Walters' car gets approximately 14.4 miles per gallon.
b. To find the mileage per gallon for Mr. Walters' car, divide the total distance he drove (480 miles) by the number of gallons of gas he used (32 gallons).
Mileage per gallon = Total distance / Gallons of gas
Mileage per gallon = 480 miles / 32 gallons
To perform the calculation, divide 480 by 32:
Mileage per gallon = 15 miles per gallon
So, Mr. Walters' car gets approximately 15 miles per gallon.
c. To determine which car is getting better mileage per gallon, compare the mileage per gallon for both cars.
Mrs. Walters' car gets 14.4 miles per gallon, while Mr. Walters' car gets 15 miles per gallon. Since a higher value means better mileage per gallon, Mr. Walters' car is getting better mileage.
So, Mr. Walters' car has a better mileage per gallon.
For the second question:
Stephen read a 90-page book in 6 days. To find out how long it will take him to read a 300-page book at the same rate, divide the number of days it took him to read the 90-page book by the number of pages in the book and then multiply that by the number of pages in the new book.
Reading rate = Days to read 90-page book / Pages in the 90-page book
Reading rate = 6 days / 90 pages
To perform the calculation, divide 6 by 90:
Reading rate = 0.067 days per page
Since Stephen reads at a rate of approximately 0.067 days per page, we can calculate the time it will take him to read the 300-page book:
Time to read 300-page book = 0.067 days per page * 300 pages
To perform the calculation, multiply 0.067 by 300:
Time to read 300-page book = 20.1 days
So, it will take Stephen approximately 20.1 days to read a 300-page book at the same rate.
For the last question:
The distance between Milltown and Summerville is 3.5 inches on the map. If the map scale is 1 inch = 20 miles, we can calculate the actual distance between the towns by multiplying the map distance by the scale.
Actual distance = Map distance * Scale
Actual distance = 3.5 inches * 20 miles per inch
To perform the calculation, multiply 3.5 by 20:
Actual distance = 70 miles
So, the actual distance between Milltown and Summerville is 70 miles.
