Answer 2

315 inches

Explanation:

fist we need to know how much is 75% of the 180 inches, for this we do the following

`(75)/(100) *180=0.75*180=135`

since the truck is 75%longer, it must be 135 inches longer than the car, given that the car is 180 inches long:

truck:

`180+135=315`

the answer is 315 inches.

Another way of finding this is:

`1.75(180)=315`
