if i have to travel 2100 miles in my car and my car holds 12 gallons and each gallon can get me to travel 22 miles, how many times will i need to stop and get gas for the trip of 2100 miles?
+129615 You can travel 12 x 22 = 264 miles on a tankful of gas....so you will have to stop and fill up
2100 / 264 = 7.954 times = 8 times
+36923 If you START with a full tank you can go 264 miles before your FIRST stop
second stop @ 528
third 792
fourth 1056
fifth 1320
sixth 1584
seventh 1848 which will carry you all of the way to 2112, so you will need no more stops for gas.
Answer : 7 gas stops
