A gallon of gasoline carries with it about 1300 megaJoules of energy. If you pay $5 per gallon, how many megaJoules can you get for a dollar?
Homework Answers
Since it's $5 for a gallon and 1 gallon contains 1300 megajoules of energy so for $1 dollar, I will have 1300/5=260 megajoules of energy. So the correct answer is 260megajoules of energy.
