Answer 2

Terrell will need 5.5 gallons of fuel for his journey.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of car = $50\ mi/hr$

Time to travel = $2.75\ hr$

Fuel efficiency of car = $25\ miles/gallon$

We need to find the amount of fuel in gallons for Terrell Journey.

Solution:

First we will find the Distance he will travel.

Distance can be calculated by Speed times Time.

framing in equation form we get;

Distance = $50\times2.75 = 137.5\ miles$

Now Given:

25 miles is covered = 1 gallon

So, 137.5 miles will be covered = amount of gallons required for 137.5 miles.

By Using Unitary method we get;

Amount of gallons required for 137.5 miles = $\frac{137.5}{25} = 5.5 \ gallons$

Hence Terrell will need 5.5 gallons of fuel for his journey.
