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 distance he traveled (825 miles) by the time it took him to travel that distance (17 hours).
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = 825 miles / 17 hours
Speed ≈ 48.53 miles/hour
Therefore, Pira's speed was approximately 48.53 miles per hour.
To find Pira's gas mileage, we divide the distance he traveled (825 miles) by the amount of gas he used (38 gallons).
Gas Mileage = Distance/Gas Used
Gas Mileage = 825 miles / 38 gallons
Gas Mileage ≈ 21.71 miles/gallon
Therefore, Pira's gas mileage was approximately 21.71 miles per gallon.
To find the unit price he paid for gas, we divide the total cost of gas ($125) by the amount of gas he used (38 gallons).
Unit Price = Cost/Gas Used
Unit Price = $125 / 38 gallons
Unit Price ≈ $3.29/gallon
Therefore, Pira paid approximately $3.29 per gallon of gas.
To find Pira's speed, we can use the formula speed = distance / time.
Given:
Distance = 825 miles
Time = 17 hours
Using the formula, we can find Pira's speed:
Speed = 825 miles / 17 hours
Speed = 48.529 miles/hour (rounded to three decimal places)
To find Pira's gas mileage, we can use the formula gas mileage = distance / gas used.
Given:
Distance = 825 miles
Gas used = 38 gallons
Using the formula, we can find Pira's gas mileage:
Gas mileage = 825 miles / 38 gallons
Gas mileage = 21.711 miles per gallon (rounded to three decimal places)
To find the unit price Pira paid for gas, we can use the formula unit price = total cost / total gallons used.
Given:
Total cost = $125
Total gallons used = 38 gallons
Using the formula, we can find Pira's unit price for gas:
Unit price = $125 / 38 gallons
Unit price = $3.29 per gallon (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, Pira's speed is approximately 48.529 miles/hour, his gas mileage is approximately 21.711 miles per gallon, and the unit price he paid for gas is approximately $3.29 per gallon.
To find Pira's speed, divide the distance traveled by the time taken:
Speed = Distance / Time
Therefore, Pira's speed is 825 miles / 17 hours = 48.5 miles per hour.
To find Pira's gas mileage, divide the distance traveled by the amount of gas used:
Gas Mileage = Distance / Gas Used
Pira's gas mileage is 825 miles / 38 gallons = 21.71 miles per gallon.
To find the unit price Pira paid for gas, divide the total cost of gas by the number of gallons used:
Unit Price = Total Cost / Gallons Used
Pira paid $125 for 38 gallons of gas. Therefore, the unit price he paid is $125 / 38 gallons = $3.29 per gallon.
