Karl drove 612.9 miles. For each gallon of gas, the car can travel 41 miles. What is a reasonable estimate of the number of gallons of gas Karl used? Select all that apply. A 1.4 gallons
B 15 gallons
C 14 gallons
D 1.5 gallons
E 140 gallons

B. 15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't need an exact answer, so we estimate

To do this, we round

41 is a tens number, so I'm going to round to the nearest 10

40

612.9 is a hundreds number, so I'm rounding to the nearest hundred

600

for EACH gallon, the car drives(roughly) 40 miles. If I have driven(roughly) 600 miles, that means I have used 600/40=15 gallons

x/3-10=8

x/3=18

x=48
