Over the weekend, trigg and Craig drove to lake of the pines to go fishing. Now they're preparing to go home. Trigg needs gas for his jeep, which gets 27 miles per gallon for gas mileage. When he stops at the gas station, he already has 5 gallons of gas in his tank. He buys more gas for $1.25 per gallon. If trigg spends $23.50 on gas, what is the total distance the boys could travel? Round, if necessary to the nearest tenth

Tatiana Santos · Answer 1

The gallons added: 23.50:1.25=18.8

all gas: 5+18.8=23.8

total distance: 23.8*27=642.6≈643 miles.

Nathan Copeland · Answer 2

the question says round to the nearest tenth so it wouldnt be 643 it would be 642.6 becuase if u put 643 it would be wrong becuase u are not supposed to round it out
