Mike roland traveled 10,850 miles. his ford truck averaged 16 miles per gallon. assuming a gallon of gas cost $2.10, what was mike's gasoline cost for the trip?

Always be careful of decimal placement.

First, you take 10,850 and divide it by 16.

Your answer should be 678.125

Your next step is to MULTIPLY 678.125 by 2.10 (two-dollars and ten cents not TWO-HUNDRED AND TEN)

The correct answer should be 1,424.0625 or 1,424.06

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
