Answer to Problem 18PPS
Gallons | 40 | 33 | 26 | 19 | 12 | 5 |
Hour h | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Explanation of Solution
Given:
40 gallons of gasoline in the fuel tank
Each hour, 7 gallons of gasoline is used.
The bus will stop for gas when there are 10 gallons left.
Calculation:
Make a table to show how many gallons of gasoline are remaining in the tank after each hour.
To construct a table,
took the total gallons (40) and subtract 7 gallons for each hour.
Gallons | 40 | 33 | 26 | 19 | 12 | 5 |
Hour h | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Conclusion:
Therefore, the table is
Gallons | 40 | 33 | 26 | 19 | 12 | 5 |
Hour h | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
(b)
To find:
Write and solve an equation to find how many hours will pass before the bus will have to stop for gasoline.
(b)

Answer to Problem 18PPS
The bus will have to stop for gasoline after 4.3 hours.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
At the start of the school trip to Washington D.C, the tour bus has 40 gallons of gasoline in the fuel tank. Each hour, the bus uses 7 gallons of gasoline. The bus will stop for gas when there are 10 gallons left.
Calculation:
The objective of the problem is to find the equation that satisfies the hypothesis of the problem and solve the obtained equation.
Let h be the number of hours.
The gasoline remains in the tank after h hours is 40-7h.
The bus will stop for gas when there are 10 gallons left.
Find the variable h which satisfies the equation 40-7h =10.
Therefore, the bus will have to stop for gasoline after 4.3 hours.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the bus will have to stop for gasoline after 4.3 hours.
