Question
0 out of 10 points Christine travels from her home to a remote island. Her trip involves: car travel of 250 miles, air travel of 400 miles, and a boat ride of 75 miles She is interested in calculating the average fuel cost per mile (per person) of her trip. Assume the fuel fficiency of car, air, and boat travel is 20, 0.20, and 2 miles per galion, respectively, and that the fuel cost per gallon is equal for all and is $3.00igallon. She is alone in the car and among 180 people on the plane and among 15 people on the boat. What is the average fuel cost per mile, per person for her car portion of the trip? The answer must be in $ per mile per person. Selected Answer: 1.875Explanation / Answer
250miles car 0.2miles/gallon Alone
400miles Air 0.2miles/gallon 180 people in total
75miles Boat 2miles/gallon 15 people in total
Fuel Cost = 3$/gallon
Car fuel = 250/0.2 = 1250 Cost = 1250 * 3 = 3750
Air Fuel = 400/0.2 = 2000 Cost = 3 * 2000 = 6000
Boat Fuel = 75/2 = 37.5 Cost = 37.5 * 3 = 110.5
Car portion trip cost per mile per person.
Since she was the only person travelling by car and it takes 0.2miles/gallon so hence it takes 5 gallons/mile per one person on the car
this costs 15 $ per mile per person.
