A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon of gas and the second car has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 825 miles, for total gas cumsumption of 40 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each car

Number of gallons consumed by first car = 15 gallons

Number of gallons consumed by second car = 25 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fuel efficiency of first car = 30 miles per gallon

Fuel efficiency of second car = 15 miles per gallon

Total distance traveled = 825 miles

Total gas consumption = 40 gallons

To find:

Number of gallons consumed by each car = ?

Solution:

Let the number of gallons consumed by first car = gallons

As per question statement, number of gallons consumed by second car:

Number of miles covered by a car = Fuel efficiency Number of gallons consumed

Number of miles covered by first car = 30

Number of miles covered by second car = 15 ()

Using the given statement:

Therefore, Number of gallons consumed by first car = 15 gallons

Number of gallons consumed by second car = 40 - 15 = 25 gallons

she drove 134 miles

step-by-step explanation:

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
