A car has a 16-gallon fuel tank when driven On a highway it has a gas mileage of 30 miles per gallon the gas mileage tells us the number of miles the car can travel for a particular amount of fuel one gallon of gasoline in this case after filling the gas tank the driver got on a highway and drove for a while how many miles has the car traveled if it has the following amounts gas left in the tank 

To determine how many miles the car has traveled after it has used some of the fuel, we can use the gas mileage formula:

\[
\text{Distance Traveled} = \text{Miles per Gallon} \times \text{Gallons Used}
\]

Given:
- The car's fuel tank has a capacity of 16 gallons.
- The car's gas mileage is 30 miles per gallon.

### Step 1: Define Gallons Used
For each scenario where the car has a certain amount of gas left in the tank, the gallons used can be calculated by subtracting the gas left from the total capacity of 16 gallons:

\[
\text{Gallons Used} = 16 - \text{Gas Left}
\]

### Step 2: Calculate Distance Traveled
Once we know how many gallons have been used, we can multiply that by the car's mileage (30 miles per gallon) to find the distance traveled.

Let me know how much gas is left in the tank, and I can calculate the distance for each case!

Would you like to provide the gas amounts, or should I create examples?

A car has a 16-gallon fuel tank. When driven on a highway, it has a gas mileage of 30 miles per gallon, which tells us the number of miles the car can travel for a particular amount of fuel (one gallon of gasoline in this case). After filling the gas tank, the driver got on a highway and drove for a while. How many miles has the car traveled if it has the following amounts of gas left in the tank?

Learn how to calculate the distance a car has traveled based on its fuel consumption. Given a car with a 16-gallon fuel tank and a gas mileage of 30 miles per gallon, this problem teaches how to find the distance traveled by determining the amount of gas used. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
