If you have 410 miles to go - you wouldn't make it ! A full tank only lets you drive 384 miles before it runs out ! Even with a full tank - you'd run out of fuel with 26 miles to go !
Fill your tank, calculate the miles to the next service station, and see how many gallons you need to re-fill the tank.
Divide the trip of 2400 by 12 to get number of total gallons needed=200 and divide that by the 24 gallons at each fill up to get number of fill ups = 8.333...
Fill the 5 gallon jug Pour from the 5 gallon to fill the 3 gallon jug You now have 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug Empty the 3 gallon jug Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug Fill the 5 gallon jug Pour from the 5 gallon jug to fill the three gallon jug -- this will tale 1 gallon You now have 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug
15 mpg (miles per gallon). The key to this 'word problem' is understanding that "miles to the gallon" or more commonly, 'miles per gallon', means DIVISION. So, 300 miles per 20 gallons means: (300 miles) / (20 gallons) = 15 miles per gallon.
410 gallons can fill 410/24 = 17.083, 24 gallon containers.
Fill your tank into the neck of tank and write down the miles. After driving several miles refill the tank to the same level in the neck and divide the miles by the number of gallons it took to fill to that level.
Gallons
fill the 7 gallon bucket, dump it into the 5 gallon bucket and save the remaining 2 gallons, repeat and you have 4 gallons.
Fill the 5 gallon can Empty it into the 3 gallon can....you now have 2 gallons left in the 5 gallon can Empty the 3 gallon can Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon can into the 3 gallon can. Fill the 5 gallon can Pour water from the 5 gallon can into the 3 gallon can until it is full....that will take a further gallon. You now have 4 gallons left in the 5 gallon can. Empty 1 of the 5 gallons. (But how do you know when you have emptied 1 gal???) You fill the 3 gal can and then tip it into the 5 gal can. The fill the 3 gal can again and tip some into the 5 gal can until the 5 gal can is full, you should now have 1 gal in the 3 gal can. Now empty the 5 gal can and put the 1 gal (from the 3 gal can) into the 5 gal can. Fill the 3 gal can again and add that to the 1 gal that is in the 5 gal can. You now have 4 gals in the 5 gal can!
you fill the five gallon then dump three of that into the three gallon so you have 3 in the 3 and 2 in the 5 then you dump out the three and fill the 3 with the remaining two gallons and fill the 5 completely so you have a combined 7 gallons.
The next time you fill up record the mileage. The next time after that record the mileage and the gallons it took to fill up. Then divide the mileage by the gallons and the answer will be the miles per gallon of that vehicle.
A Toyota 4Runner SR5 holds about 18 gallons of gasoline. The 4Runner gets about 14 to 16 miles per gallon.
