Q. Roselyn is driving to visit her family, who live 150150 kilometers away. Her average speed is 6060 kilometers per hour. The car's tank has 2020 liters of fuel at the beginning of the drive, and its fuel efficiency is 66 kilometers per liter. Fuel costs 0.600.60 dollars per liter.\newlineWhat is the price for the amount of fuel that Roselyn will use for the entire drive?\newlinedollars
  1. Calculate total distance: Calculate the total distance Roselyn will drive.\newlineRoselyn is driving to visit her family, who live 150150 kilometers away.
  2. Calculate fuel needed: Calculate the total amount of fuel needed for the drive.\newlineRoselyn's car has a fuel efficiency of 66 kilometers per liter. To find out how many liters she will need for a 150150-kilometer drive, we divide the total distance by the fuel efficiency.\newlineFuel needed == Total distanceFuel efficiency\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Fuel efficiency}}\newlineFuel needed == 150km6km/l\frac{150 \, \text{km}}{6 \, \text{km/l}}\newlineFuel needed == 2525 liters
  3. Calculate cost of fuel: Calculate the cost of the fuel used for the drive.\newlineThe cost of fuel is 0.600.60 dollars per liter. To find the total cost, we multiply the amount of fuel needed by the cost per liter.\newlineTotal cost =Fuel needed×Cost per liter= \text{Fuel needed} \times \text{Cost per liter}\newlineTotal cost =25 liters×0.60 dollars/liter= 25 \text{ liters} \times 0.60 \text{ dollars/liter}\newlineTotal cost =15 dollars= 15 \text{ dollars}
