Question

Jordan's job is located 67 miles from his home. His car's gas mileage is 21 miles to the gallon. Approximately how many gallons of gasoline does Jordan need each day?

Answer 1

approximately `6.5` gallons

Explanation:

To get to work and back, Jordan must travel `67+67=134` miles.

`134` miles at `21` gallons/mile (which is equivalent to `1` gallon for every `21` miles)

would require
`134" miles"xx(1" gallon")/(21" miles")` or approximately `6 1/2` gallons
