Hey there, in this question you are told how many gallons of gas you have and what you want to convert that to is the number of miles that you can drive.
00:16
Well to answer this, to convert from gallons to number of miles, we're just converting units, but to do that we need to have a relationship between gallons and miles.
00:26
In other words, we need to know the mileage for this car.
00:28
And fortunately, we are given that information in the question.
00:33
We're told that you can drive 24 .3 miles for every gallon of gasoline.
00:45
Alright, so miles per gallon just means that many miles for every one gallon.
00:51
Alright, so we can go ahead and use that as a conversion factor to convert from our 12 gallons that we're starting with to the number of miles that we can drive.
01:03
Our equality, as i mentioned, is going to be written as a conversion factor, which means a fraction.
01:09
And we want gallons to cancel, so in the denominator i need to put the one gallon, while in the numerator i will put the 24 .3 miles...
