How many gallons of gasoline are used in the United States in one day? Assume that there are two cars for every three people, that each car is driven an average of 10,000 miles per year, and that the average car gets 20 miles per gallon.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Determine the population of the United States. For estimation purposes, you can use a rough figure, such as 330 million people.
Calculate the number of cars in the United States using the ratio provided: two cars for every three people. Use the formula: \( \text{Number of cars} = \frac{2}{3} \times \text{Population} \).
Calculate the total miles driven by all cars in one year. Multiply the number of cars by the average miles driven per car per year: \( \text{Total miles per year} = \text{Number of cars} \times 10,000 \).
Determine the total gallons of gasoline used in one year by dividing the total miles driven by the average miles per gallon: \( \text{Total gallons per year} = \frac{\text{Total miles per year}}{20} \).
Convert the total gallons used per year to gallons used per day by dividing by the number of days in a year: \( \text{Gallons per day} = \frac{\text{Total gallons per year}}{365} \).
