You are going on a long trip and wants to calculate your miles per gallon. When you start your trip your odometer read 91709 miles. At the end of your trip your odometer reads 91961 miles. You started with a full tank and to return you put 7 gallons of gas total. What is your miles per gallon?

36 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

91961 - 91709 = 252 miles driven

252 miles / 7 gallons = 36 miles per gallon

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
