I suspect this method may be a slightly unorthodox, but I often set up equations wrong on rate questions, so I drew a table:
Attachment:
CONSUMPTION - RATE - TABLE.jpg [ 35.95 KiB | Viewed 3544 times ]
Because this is a rate question that resembles the "multiple workers" at unknown individual rate (where total work is analogous to total number of gallons consumed, as in pool-draining rate questions), I drew a table.
TOTAL gallons consumed / [total # of cars * total hrs gas is consumed] = RATE of individual car's consumption (see second column)
\(\frac{480}{6*5}\)= \(\frac{480}{30}\) = 16 gallons of gas per hour for INDIVIDUAL car
Now we have individual rate of consumption, such that (# of cars)*(rate of consumption)*(hours spent consuming) = TOTAL gallons consumed (see second row)
7*16*8 = 896
Answer E
I hope this method isn't incorrect. SajjadAhmad ?
