If We Consider Only The Cost Of Gasoline How Much Does It Cost In Dollars To Drive Each Mile Round To The Nearest Cent class=

Sagot :

Given:

The cost of gasoline, c=$2.20/gallon.

The car gets x=26 miles per gallon.

The cost to drive each mile if gasoline costs $2.20/gallon is

[tex]\begin{gathered} T=\frac{c}{x} \\ =\frac{\frac{2.20\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ gallon}}}{\frac{26\text{ miles}}{1\text{ gallon}}} \\ =\frac{2.20\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ gallon}}\times\frac{1\text{ gallon}}{26\text{ miles}} \\ =0.08 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the two fractions for obtaining the solution is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2.20\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ gallon}} \\ \frac{1\text{ gallon}}{26\text{ miles}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The cost in dollars to drive each mile is $0.08 per mile (rounded to nearest cent).
