the calculations


So I taught the kids homeschool today and I thought it would be fun to combine a few subjects. We decided to calculate the amount of km's, gas cost, hotel cost and a few other things. This is what we came up with:

BC to Guatemala - 6626 KM's (for my USA friends 3982 miles)
Cost per gallon - $3
Size of tank 20 gallons
Amount to fill tank $60 US, because most of the driving is through USA
Gas mileage 400km per tank
Amount of tanks needed to drive to Guatemala - 17
Gas Cost - $1020
Hotel Cost - $480
Total cost without food will be $1500 US.. we didn't add any money for food because I haven't told anyone yet but we will be fasting the entire trip(no food or water,). This will not only save us money but it will drastically cut down on washroom stops. HAHA!
