Acar averages 27 miles per gallon. if gas costs $4.04 per gallon, which of the following is closest to how much the gas would cost for this car to travel 2,727 typical miles? a. $44.44b. $109.08c. $118.80d. $408.04e. $444.40

Option D is correct.

$408.04 the gas would cost for this car to travel 2,727 typical miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 3 miles per second or 4 kilometer per hour

As per the statement:

A car averages 27 miles per gallon.

⇒

Total distance of car travel typical miles = 2727 miles.

Substitute the given values we have;

It is also given that if gas costs $4.04 per gallon.

then;

In 1 gallon of gas = $4.04

then;

in 101 gallons of gas =

Therefore, $408.04 the gas would cost for this car to travel 2,727 typical miles

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
