Bobby needed to make some trips with his truck and had only 12 gallons of gasoline. He drives to a supermarket 5 miles away and then drives back home. Then he headed to his farm which was 6 miles away. Two miles into the journey, he turned around and drove back home to retrieve some farming tools he forgot to take earlier and drove down to the farm. If he now has exactly 2 gallons of gasoline left, at what rate in miles per gallon has his truck been consuming gasoline?
How many miles does Bobby drive to the supermarket? ** The trip to the supermarket and back home covers 5+5=<<5+5=10>>10 miles.
How many miles does Bobby drive before he actually goes to the farm? ** The round trip of two miles each before he actually went to the farm covers 2+2=<<2+2=4>>4 miles.
How many miles does Bobby drive in total? ** Six miles to the farm and the total mileage is 10+4+6=<<10+4+6=20>>20 miles.
How many gallons of gasoline did Bobby's truck consume? ** The truck consumed 12-2=<<12-2=10>>10 gallons of gasoline for the total journey.
What is the rate in miles per gallon? ** So, the rate is 20/10= <<20/10=2>>2 miles per gallon.
