If a vehicle gets 16 MPG and gas costs $2.70/gallon. How much would it cost to drive the vehicle 30 miles?
Can someone help me find a formula to figure this out?
You don't really need a formula here, just think it through
I will take 30/16 or 1.875 g to go the 30 miles
at $2.70/g the cost would be
$2.70(1.875) or $5.06
I divided 30 by 16 and got 1.875
I multiplied 1.875 by 2.70 and got 5.0625 or about $5.63. I am not a math teacher though
To calculate how much it would cost to drive a vehicle a certain distance, you can use the following formula:
Cost = (Distance / MPG) * Price per gallon
In this case, the distance is 30 miles, the MPG is 16, and the price per gallon is $2.70. Plugging these values into the formula, we can calculate the cost:
Cost = (30 miles / 16 MPG) * $2.70/gallon
Cost = (30/16) * $2.70
To solve this equation, you divide 30 by 16, which gives you 1.875. Then, you multiply 1.875 by $2.70, which equals $5.4375.
Therefore, it would cost $5.44 to drive the vehicle 30 miles based on the given MPG and gas price.
