[Question]Dream's car consumes 4 gallons of gas per mile. If she drives 400 miles today and 200 more miles tomorrow than today, how many gallons of gas will the car consume?
[Answer]If she drives 400 miles today, the car will have consumed 4 * 400 = 1600 gallons of gas. Tomorrow, if she drives 200 more miles, the total distance will be 200 + 400 = 600 miles. The fuel consumption by the car tomorrow is 4 * 600 = 2400 gallons. The car's total fuel consumption in the two days is 2400 + 1600 = 4000 gallons. The answer is 4000.
