Suppose you drive an old truck with a 32 gallon gas tank that gets 16 miles/gallon. If you are 75 miles from home and you have a quarter tank of gas, will you run out of gas before you get home? Show calculations.
How do you solve these types of problems?
Please help!
Homework Answers
distance from home = 75 miles
mileage = 16 miles/gallon
So,
amount of gas required to reach home = distance / mileage
= 75 miles / 16 miles/gallon
= 4.7 gallon
Truck has 1/4 of 32 galllon gas = 1/4*32 = 8 gallon
Truck has 8 gallon of gas and 4.7 gallon is required to reach home.
No, it will not run out of gas before reaching home

Suppose the car (van, SUV) you drive gets 25 miles/gallon. If you drive 19,000 miles per year how many tons of the green house gas CO2 are you releasing each year? Assume your fuel is octane (C8H18) and the combustion reaction is balanced: C8H18 + 12.5 O2 → 8 CO2 + 9 H2O Addition information: Density of octane = 0.700 g/mL 1 gallon = 3785 mL 1 pound = 454 g 1 ton = 2000 lbs

Suppose that you have an old car that is a real gas guzzler. It is 10 years old and could be sold to a local dealer for $500 cash. The annual maintenance costs will average $800 per year into the foreseeable future, and the car averages only 10 miles per gallon. Gasoline costs $3.40 per gallon, and you drive 17,000 miles per year. You now have an opportunity to replace the old car with a better one that costs $6,000....
