When Jeremy filled his car's gas tank last week, his car had an odometer reading of 25,500. One week later, he refilled the tank, which now has an odometer reading of 26,100. It took 25 gallons of gas to fill the tank. How many miles does Jeremy's car get per gallon?

Respuesta :

Answer:

24 miles is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The previous reading of Jeremy's car = 25500

The current reading is = 26100

Difference between readings = [tex]26100-25500=600[/tex]

Number of gallons used to fill the tank = 25

So, miles traveled by Jeremy in 25 gallons is = 600

In 1 gallon, he travels = [tex]\frac{600}{25}= 24[/tex] miles.

Therefore, Jeremy's car gets 24 miles per gallon.
