Terrell wants to drive his car at a speed of 50 miles per hour for 2.75 hours. His car has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon. How many gallons of fuel does Terrell need for his journey?
Hi Elmer20104! So 50mph for 2.75 hours with 25mpg. OK so we do 50mph*2.75 hours is 137.5 miles. We would take 137.5 miles/25mpg is 5.5 gallons of gas. So Terrell will need 5.5 gallons to go through with his journey. Hope this helps!
