Q. The expression 12g gives the number of kilometers a car can travel using g liters of gasoline. How many kilometers can this car travel on 521 liters of gasoline?
Substitute g with 521: The expression 12g represents the distance in kilometers that the car can travel per liter of gasoline, where g is the number of liters. To find out how far the car can travel on 521 liters, we need to substitute g with 521 in the expression.
Convert mixed number to improper fraction: First, we need to convert the mixed number 521 into an improper fraction. This is done by multiplying the whole number5 by the denominator 2 and then adding the numerator 1.Calculation: 5×2+1=10+1=11So, 521 liters is the same as 211 liters.
Substitute g with 211: Now we substitute g with 211 in the expression 12g to find out the distance the car can travel.Calculation: 12×(211)=2(12×11)
Perform multiplication in numerator: Perform the multiplication in the numerator.Calculation: 12×11=132
Divide to get final answer: Now, divide 132 by 2 to get the final answer.Calculation: 2132=66
Car's distance on 521 liters: The car can travel 66 kilometers on 521 liters of gasoline.
