Pira drives 825 miles to California. The trip takes him 17 hours. He uses 38 gallons of gas on the trip, which costs him $125. • Find his speed. • Find his gas mileage. • Find the unit price he paid for gas.
To find Pira's speed, we divide the total distance he drove by the total time it took him.
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 825 miles / 17 hours
Speed ≈ 48.53 miles per hour
To find Pira's gas mileage, we divide the total distance he drove by the amount of gas he used.
Gas Mileage = Distance / Gas Used
Gas Mileage = 825 miles / 38 gallons

To find the unit price he paid for gas, we divide the total cost of the gas by the amount of gas he used.
Unit Price = Total Cost / Gas Used
Unit Price = $125 / 38 gallons
Unit Price ≈ $3.29 per gallon
To find Pira's speed, we can use the formula: speed = distance / time.
Given that Pira drives 825 miles in 17 hours, we can calculate his speed as follows:
Speed = 825 miles / 17 hours
