Peggy filled her van's gas tank and noted that the odometer read 24,848.4. After the next fill-up, it read 25,214.7. It took 18.5 gal to fill the tank. How many miles per gallon did the van get? Enter your answer in the answer box

Respuesta :

19.8 miles per gallon

Explanation:

We would be taking the unit of the odometer to be in miles since it was not stated.

We need to find the difference in the odometer as this will give us the distance covered between them

Distance = 25,214.7 miles - 24,848.4 miles

Distance = 366.3 miles

To find the miles per gallons, we would divide the distance by the number of gallons to fill the tank

number of gallons = 18.5 gal

= 366.3 miles/ 18.5 gal = 19.8 miles per gallon

The van got 19.8 miles per gallon
