The oil tank in your car is leaking at a rate of 1.2 oz per mile driven. You drove 15 miles over to your grandma house . How many cups of oil did your car leak ?
Accepted Solution
A:
Well if your leaking a rate of 1.2 oz per mile and they drove 15 miles then you simply multiply 1.2 times 15 and get 22.5 oz but we need to find out how many cups of oil so you need to convert it . There are 8 oz in a cup so 8 times 3 is 24 which is to high So 8 times 2 is 16 leaving about 4 oz left So it would be 2 cups and 4 oz leaked out
