Question

Abdul drove 380 miles using 14 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 418 miles?

Answer 1

15.4 gallons

Explanation:

This can be solved using a proportion. Keep in mind that "
`mi.`" is miles and "
`g`" is gallons

`(14g)/(380mi)=(g)/(418)`

Cross multiply.

`380g = 5852`

Solve.

`(380g)/(380)=(5852)/(380)  \\\\g = 15.4`

Therefore, Adbul would need 15.4 gallons to drive 418 miles.
