Problema Solution
Dale drove
320
miles using
12
gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive
296
miles?
Answer provided by our tutors
We will consider that the amount of gas is directly proportion to the miles passed.
Let 'x' represent the gallons needed to drive 296 mi
320 : 12 = 296 : x
........
........
x = 11.1 gal
Dale would need 11.1 gallons of gas to drive 296 miles.
