Agallon of milk weighs eight pounds, so you wouldn’t try to carry three or four gallons home on your bicycle. gasoline is a bit less dense than milk—oil floats on water—and 6 pounds per gallon of gasoline is about right. a typical u. s. “car” (whatever it is we drive—averaging somewhere between a prius and a hummer, and including a lot of pickup trucks and minivans) gets about 20 miles per gallon, and drives about 12,000 miles. so, how many gallons of gas per year? 12,000 gallons / year 6000 gallons / year 600 gallons / year 240,000 gallons / year

Explanation:

The single question is about the amount of gallons of gas per year a typical U.S. "car" uses.

The relevant information to find how many gallons of gas per year a typical U.S. "car" uses is:

The rest of the statement is anectodic and irrelevant to find the answer of the question.

Now, with the helpf of the units, you can set this relation:

        [miles are canceled and the resultant quotient equals gallon / year]

Substitute and compute:

                                 = 600 gallons / year

Hence, the answer is the third option 600 gallons / year.

the 3rd option is right
