Question

A car can average 140 miles on 5 gallons of gasoline. Write any equation for the distance d in miles the car can travel on g gallons of gas.

Answer 1

d=28g I might be wrong, but we can find this by dividing 140 by five, which equals 28.

Answer 2

Answer: Our required equation would be

`d=28g`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of miles = 140

Number of gallons of gasoline = 5

Let the distance in miles be 'd'.

Let the number of gallons of gas be 'g'.

According to question, we get that

`(140)/(5)=(d)/(g)\\\\28=(d)/(g)\\\\d=28g`

Hence, our required equation would be

`d=28g`
