Milan drove 320 miles using 12 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 296 miles.

Let x represent the gallons Milan needs to drive 296 miles.
Since the distance if directly proportional to the amount of gas we can write:
320 : 12 = 296 : x

x = 11.1 gal
Milan needs 11.1 gallons of gas to drive 296 miles.
