a 68 mile trip uses 2 gallons of gas. how many gallons would you use on a 110 mile trip? round to the nearest tenth of a gallon.
How do you think you can solve this problem?
ouch
i got a 50 on an algebra quiz and i got a 50 and i cant afford those kinda grades and no one in my house hold is smart enough to help
Since you don't seem to understand many of the processes and skills required in this class, I suggest you talk with your teacher. S/he may be able to help you figure out what's wrong.
You may also want to drop the class and take it over again.
To figure out how many gallons you would use on a 110 mile trip, you can set up a proportion using the given information.
First, determine the fuel efficiency of the car. Divide the distance traveled (68 miles) by the amount of gas used (2 gallons):
Fuel efficiency = 68 miles / 2 gallons = 34 miles/gallon
Next, use this fuel efficiency to calculate the amount of gas required for a 110 mile trip:
Gallons used on 110 mile trip = (110 miles) / (34 miles/gallon)
Calculating this, you'll find:
Gallons used on 110 mile trip ≈ 3.24 gallons
Finally, rounding to the nearest tenth of a gallon, the answer is approximately 3.2 gallons.
