Zorluk: KolayFuel Efficiency and Range

A courier's motorcycle has a fuel efficiency of 4040 miles per gallon. The courier uses exactly 2.52.5 gallons of fuel to complete a round trip from the dispatch center to a customer's location and back. What is the one-way distance between the dispatch center and the customer's location?

Cevap

The one-way distance is 5050 miles.
To find the one-way distance, first determine the total distance traveled by multiplying the fuel efficiency by the amount of fuel used: 40 miles/gallon×2.5 gallons=100 miles40 \text{ miles/gallon} \times 2.5 \text{ gallons} = 100 \text{ miles}. Since this is a round trip, divide the total distance by 22 to find the one-way distance: 100÷2=50 miles100 \div 2 = 50 \text{ miles}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total distance traveled using the fuel efficiency and total fuel used.
40 miles/gallon×2.5 gallons=100 miles40 \text{ miles/gallon} \times 2.5 \text{ gallons} = 100 \text{ miles}
Total distance is the product of the rate of fuel consumption (efficiency) and the amount of fuel consumed.
2
Calculate the one-way distance by dividing the total round trip distance in half.
100 miles÷2=50 miles100 \text{ miles} \div 2 = 50 \text{ miles}
A round trip consists of two equal segments (going and returning), so the one-way distance is half of the total distance.
