Question

A car traveled 63 miles on 3 gallons of gas. What proportion can you set up to determine how many miles, m, the car

can travel on 7 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

147 miles

Explanation:

The first step is to find the number of miles traveled per gallon of gas

63 miles / 3 gallons = 21 miles per gallon

Take the rate and multiply by the number of gallons used to get the distance traveled

d = r * g

d = 21 * 7

d =147

The distance traveled is 147 miles
