Q. Jackson loves to take day trips during weekends. Last weekend, he drove 8080 miles to Crabclaw Beach. He used 44 gallons of gas to get there. This weekend, he will drive 100100 miles to get to Mount Highmore.
  1. Calculate Fuel Efficiency: Calculate Jackson's fuel efficiency from his previous trip.\newlineFuel efficiency = Total miles driven / Total gallons used\newlineFuel efficiency = 8080 miles / 44 gallons\newlineFuel efficiency = 2020 miles per gallon
  2. Calculate Gas Needed: Calculate the amount of gas needed for the new trip using the previously calculated fuel efficiency.\newlineGas needed = Distance to Mount HighmoreFuel efficiency\frac{\text{Distance to Mount Highmore}}{\text{Fuel efficiency}}\newlineGas needed = 100 miles20 miles per gallon\frac{100 \text{ miles}}{20 \text{ miles per gallon}}\newlineGas needed = 55 gallons
