Jimmy gets 36 miles per gallon in his car. The gas tank hold 16 gallons. Jimmy drives 24 miles each day. He thinks he can go 25 days without putting any additional gas in the tank. Is he correct or incorrect

Respuesta :

Answer: he is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gas tank hold 16 gallons. Jimmy gets 36 miles per gallon in his car. It means that if he fills the gas tank completely, the total number of miles that he can travel would be

36 × 16 = 576 miles

Jimmy drives 24 miles each day. It means that the number of miles that he would drive in 25 days would be

24 × 25 = 600 miles

Therefore, he is incorrect to think that he can go 25 days without putting any additional gas in the tank.
