You plan to take a 2000-mile trip in your car, which averages 32 miles per gallon. how many gallons of gasoline should you expect to use? would a car that has only half the gas mileage (16 miles per gallon) require twice as much gasoline for the same trip? explain.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distance to be covered = 2000 mile

Gas mileage of the car = 32 mil/gal

For 1 gallon of gasoline , car covers 32 miles.

Then gasoline required to cover 1 mile will be:

Gasoline required to cover 2000 mile :V

62.5 gallons of gasoline should you expected to be used.

2) Distance to be covered = 2000 mile

Gas mileage of the car = 16 mil/gal

For 1 gallon of gasoline , car covers 16 miles.

Then gasoline required to cover 1 mile will be:

Gasoline required to cover 2000 mile :V'

V' = 2 × V

Yes, the car with only half the gas mileage that is 16 mile /gal will require twice as much as gasoline for the same trip by the car with mileage of 32 mile/gal.
