Question

if walters scooter can travel 53 miles on 1 gallon of gas, how far can his scooter travel on 2.5 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

Explanation:

t= how far his scooter can travel on 2.5 gallons of gas

Start by setting up a ratio

53:1= t:2.5

Rewrite as fractions

`(53)/(1)` =
`(t)/(2.5)`

Cross multiply

1(t)= 53(2.5)

Simplify

t= 132.5

Walter's scooter can travel 132.5 miles on 2.5 gallons of gas

I hope this helps!!!
