Expression that shows distance Kurt can drive on a tank of gasoline is 23g miles
Solution:
Given that, Kurt's car gets 23 miles to a gallon of gasoline
He filled up his car's gas tank with g gallons
To find: Expression that shows distance Kurt can drive on a tank of gasoline
From given,
1 gallon of gasoline = 23 miles
Kurt fills up his car with "g" gallons
Therefore, for "g" gallons,
[tex]1 \times g \text{ gallons of gasoline } = 23 \times g \text{ miles }\\\\g \text{ gallons of gasoline } = 23g \text{ miles }[/tex]
Thus the distance Kurt can cover with "g" gallons is:
[tex]distance = 23g\ miles[/tex]
Thus with "g" gallons of gasoline, Kurt can drive 23g miles
