Madeline bought a hybrid car that averages 46 miles per gallon. How much gas will she need for a 350-

mile trip?

What equation represents this situation? How many gallons of gas will Madeline need? Select two

answers.

A. 350.46 = n

B. 46n = 350

C. approximately 7.61 gallons

D. approximately 8.75 gallons

B. 46n = 350

C. Approximately 7.61 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Miles per gallon of the hybrid car = 46

Distance of the trip = 350 miles

2. What equation represents this situation? How many gallons of gas will Madeline need?

Let's write the equation to answer the question as follows:

Number of gallons for the trip = Distance of the trip/Miles per gallon of the hybrid car

Number of gallons for the trip = 350/46

Number of gallons for the trip = 7.61 (rounding to the next hundredth)

We can write it in another way:

46 * Number of gallons for the trip = 350

Therefore,

B. 46n = 350

C. Approximately 7.61 gallons
