if my car get 22 miles per gallon and a gallon of gas is $3 per gallon how much........?

Question

does it cost to drive one mile.

also tell us how you figure that out because we are stupid! (-:

Answer 1

22 miles/gallon and 3 dollars a gallon means you can drive 22 miles for 3 dollars. so cost per mile = 3 dollars/22 miles = 0.136364.... or roughly 13.6 cents/mile

Answer 2

the result you are after is in dollars per mile. this means you take $3 per gallon and divide by 22 miles per gallon to get the $/mile (this will cancel out the gallon)

so the solution look like this:
$3 per gallon / 22 miles per gallon = 0.13636363636363636363636363636364
rounding up it is $0.14 per mile or 14 cents per mile.

Hope that helps

Answer 3

This is a problem solved through cross-multiplication:

$3.00/gal x gal/22mi = $0.14 /mi

Note that the equation is written in such a way that each
fraction (numerator/denominator) is a unity, i.e. the value of the numerator corresponds to the value of the denominator; e.g. in the first fraction, $3.00 is the price per gallon, and in the second fraction, each gallon runs for 22 miles.

Note that gallon cancels out gallon (one is a numerator, the other a denominator) and the only term remaining at the end is cost per mile - which is the answer we are looking for.

Answer 4

$10 divided by $2.90 = 3.448 gallons 3.448 gallons multiply by 22 miles per gallon = 75.86 miles With $10 worth of gas, it can go up to 75.86 miles.

Answer 5

If you get 22 mpg then each mile yiur car uses 1/22 gallons of gas.
If gas costs $3.00 a gallon, then it costs $3.00 / 22 a mile or $0.136 per mile.

Answer 6

mileage: 22 mpg
gas cost: $3/gallon

$3/gallon x gallon/22 miles =
$3/22 miles =
$0.136/mile

13.6 cents per mile

Answer 7

If my car gets 22 miles per gallon and 1 gallon=3 dollars, then the price for 1-mile drive is 3(dollars) / 22(miles)
= $0.1363636 per 1 mile
Thanks

Answer 8

well you divid the cost by the number of gallon which will give you the answer of around 14 cent per mile

Answer 9

Dear Economizer;
If you divide 22 into $3.00, you will find that one mile costs $0.13636 for each mile driven:

Proof: Multiply 22 miles times $0.13636 [cost to drive one mile] and the product should be $2.99992 or close to $ 3.00

Answer 10

3 dollars take you 22 miles. So, for one mile you need

3 / 22 = 300 / 22 = 13.63 cents or say 14 cents.
