Michael just bought a used car and wanted to check his mpg. His two odometer readings from one fill-up to another were 53,762 and 54,008. It took 11.8 gallons of gas to fill it up the second time. [ His mpg to the nearest gallon is 21.
Solution:
Miles per gallon (mpg) = miles/gallon
mpg = (54,008 miles - 53,762 miles)/11.8 gallons
mpg = 246 miles / 11.8 gallons
mpg = 20.85 gallons
mpg = 21 ]
