Ron drove his car every day from Monday to Saturday. On Monday and

Tuesday, the car used an average of 2 gallons of gas each day. From

Wednesday to Saturday, the car used an average of 3 gallons of gas each day.

Find the total amount of gas the car used from Monday to Saturday.

M-

16 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Consumption

Since Monday and Tuesday are two days and each day, it's estimated that the consumption was 2 gallons hence to get the actual consumption for the two days

Monday and Tuesday = 2*2 = 4 gallons

Wednesday to Saturday has 4 days and each day, the consumption was 3 gallons hence total consumption is also given as a product of the days and the daily consumption on average. Therefore,

Wednesday to Saturday = 3*4=12 gallons (We consider Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday)

To get the total consumption, we add respective consumption.

Total=4+12=16 gallons
