If a car gets 11 MPG how many gallons of gas would it take to go 950 miles?

In: Science

[Edit]

Answer

Divide. Miles / miles per gallon = gallons needed.

The mathematical answer to your question is derived by dividing 950 miles by 11 MPG to get approximately 86.4 gallons. However, if it's a "reality" based answer you're looking for, then in all probably, it will take more gas to travel the 950 miles as you may need to get off the highway to look for restaurants, motels, gas stations, possibly sightseeing, etc., during your 2-3 day (or longer) trip.
