The Washington family is taking a family trip to Washington and has 429.5 mi left before they get to the hotel. If they are traveling at a rate of 33 miles per gallon and they have 13 gallons of fuel left should Mr. Washington stop for gas?

Yes He should stop for Gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

total distance left=429.5miles

we want to find the amount of gallons the car will consume for 429.5 miles

we are told that for 33 miles traveled the car will consume 1 gallon of gas

                hence for 429.5 miles the car will consume x gallons

cross multiply we have

x=429.5/33

x=13.0gallons

This shows that the tank will be empty for a 429.5 miles.

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general
