#numi If a gallon of gas has 31000 calories, and a typical hamburger has 520 calories, how many hamburgers would need a car that returns 50 miles per gallon to go from new york to washington DC?
@keisuke , 186 miles?
The answer is 355 hamburgers. The total number of calories needed for the car to go from New York to Washington DC is 155,000 calories (186 miles x 50 mpg x 31,000 calories/gallon). Divide 155,000 calories by 520 calories per hamburger to get 296 hamburgers. Since you can’t eat half a hamburger, round up to 355 hamburgers.
