Jess can drive 200 miles on
1/2 tank of gas.
How far can he drive with 3/4 of a tank?

Sagot :

Answer:

300 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jess can drive 200 miles on a 1/2 of a tank of gas that must mean he can drive 100 miles with his gas tank only 1/4 full. Since he needs to know how far he can drive with his gas 3/4 of the way full he would just add 200 miles to 100 miles and get 300 miles.

You figure this out by dividing 200 miles by 2 since it is a half way full and you just need to half the amount of miles to get how many miles it is for a fourth of the way full. You would need to find out how much it is for a fourth of the way full since it only says Jess can drive 200 miles on a 1/2 tank of gas. However we need to find out how far he can drive with 3/4 tank of gas. Which you know that you need to find out how much it is for a fourth of a tank of gas or 1/4 since 1/2 is also equal to 2/4 and 1/4 plus 2/4 is equal to 3/4.

I hope this helps! If you need any more further help with this question let me know.
