The distance between each street and each avenue is one block.
Each block is 2 miles.
You drive on Broadway from A to B in a car that uses 24 mpg.
Approximately how many gallons did you use?
It’s a right angle
Leg 1 is – 2
Leg 2 is – 10
I don’t understand how mpg works.
Solution
well then you traveled 24 miles: 2+10 = 2 blocks, which is 24 miles because each block is 2 miles
the car gets 24 miles per gallon, so 1 gallon of gas was used.
set up the conversion factors like this:
1 gallon
24 miles * ————– = 1 gallon
24 miiles
