how do u find numbers of gallons to a place?

Question

from benton to jonesboro

20 m.p.g and 157 miles

Answer 1

Gallons of what? Are you looking for the number of gallons of gasoline to travel the distance? If so, how many miles per gallon does the vehicle get?

Answer 2

You know distance: 157 miles
You know your mileage: 20 miles/gallon

It's a simple matter of dividing:
For example if it were 100 miles, and you could travel 20 miles on a gallon, it would be 100/20 or 5 gallons.

Same thing for your distance of 157 miles
157 miles / 20* miles/gallon = 7.85 gallons

*Your mileage may vary :)

Answer 3

hmm ... let's assume the distance and call it "d" miles
let's call the mileage = "r" miles/gallon
and let "g" = number of gallons

d = r * g .... (distance = mileage rate * num gallons)

so ....

g = d / r .... (gallons = distance / mileage-rate )



hope this is what you were looking for.
happy driving :)
