Math Problem Statement

How many gallons are needed to drive 830 miles? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a gallon. 830/1 miles x

Solution

To calculate the number of gallons needed to drive 830 miles, you need to know the vehicle's fuel efficiency, typically measured in miles per gallon (MPG). The formula to find the number of gallons needed is:

Number of gallons=Total miles drivenMiles per gallon (MPG)\text{Number of gallons} = \frac{\text{Total miles driven}}{\text{Miles per gallon (MPG)}}

Since you haven’t provided the MPG, let's assume an example. For instance, if the vehicle gets 25 MPG, the calculation would be:

Number of gallons=830 miles25 MPG=33.2 gallons\text{Number of gallons} = \frac{830 \text{ miles}}{25 \text{ MPG}} = 33.2 \text{ gallons}

If you provide the actual MPG, I can give you the exact number of gallons needed.

Would you like to continue with this assumption, or do you have the MPG value?
