Your car uses gasoline at a rate of 21 miles per gallon. If gasoline costs $2.82 per
gallon and you drive for 7 hours at a speed of 48 miles per hour, how much will you
pay for gasoline for the trip?
, (a) $38.18
(b) $45.12
(c) $47.73
(d) $59.27

B. First determine the miles traveled d = st (7hr × 48mph = 336
miles), then divide by the rate per gallon, 21. So now you know you
need 16 gallons at $2.82 per gallon to pay for the trip. 16 × $2.82 =
$45.12
Alice leaves her house, driving east at 45 miles per hour (mph). Thirty minutes later her
