Dimitri’s car has a fuel efficiency of 21 miles per gallon. His tank is full with 12 gallons of gas. Does he have enough gas to drive from Cincinnati to Toledo, a distance of 202.4 miles? Explain. (Hint: there’s too much information in this problem to use simultaneously)

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes he does

Step-by-step explanation:

If 21 miles uses 1 gallon

then 202.4 miles will use

$\frac{202.4}{21} gallons$

$= 9.64gallons$

12 gallons is well over enough for Dimitri's trip
