In theā€‹ 1970s, due to worldā€‹ events, there was a gasoline shortage in the United States. There were often long lines of cars waiting at gas stations. Partā€‹ A: If there were 41 cars in a line that stretched 388 ā€‹feet, what is the average carā€‹ length? Assume that the cars are lined upā€‹ bumper-to-bumper. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer:

Part A: The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

Part B: The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

# Part A:

- There were 62 cars in a line that stretched 567 feet

- The cars are lined up bumper-to-bumper

- That means there is no empty spaces between the cars

* To find the average length of the car we will divide the length of

Ā the line by the numbers of the cars

āˆµ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

āˆµ The length of the line is 567 feet

āˆµ The numbers of the cars is 62 cars

āˆ“ The average car length = 567/62 = 9.1 feet

* The average car length is 9.1 feet to the nearest tenth foot

# Part B:

- There are 1000 cars

- We need to find the length of line which contained the cars

āˆµ The average car length = length of the line/number of cars

āˆµ The average of car length is 9.1 feet

āˆµ The number of the cars is 1000 cars

āˆ“ 9.1 = length of the line/1000

- Multiply both sides by 1000

āˆ“ The length of the line = 9.1 Ɨ 1000 = 9100 feet

āˆ“ The line would be 9100 feet to contained 1000 cars
