Shonda’s car gets an average of 27 miles per gallon. Gas costs $2.25 per gallon and she drives 892 miles to get from Baltimore, MD to Orlando, FL. What are the conversion factors she could use to calculate the cost of gas to get from Baltimore to Orlando? How much will she spend on gas?
Driving across the desert, the sign says 79.5 miles to the next gas station. If your car
gets 21.2 miles/gallon, and you have exactly 4.61 gallons of gas remaining in your
car, do you have enough fuel to get to the next gas stop?
assume a car gets 28.0 mi/gal using gasoline at $3.50/gal and 22.5 mi/gal using E58 at $2.85/gal. How much will it cost to drive 500.0 km using each fuel?
