Doreen went to see her favorite sports team play. Her car can go 340 miles on one tank of gas. If she used 50% of a full tank of gas, how many miles did she travel?
What do you think?
y'all answer this
To find out how many miles Doreen traveled, we need to calculate 50% of the total miles her car can go on a full tank of gas.
Step 1: Calculate 50% of a full tank of gas.
If Doreen's car can go 340 miles on one tank of gas, she used halfway or 50% of the gas. So, multiply 340 by 0.5 (50% as a decimal).
340 miles * 0.5 = 170 miles
Doreen traveled 170 miles to see her favorite sports team play.
