Answer 2

Answer is 196 miles with $25 gas

Step by step

First boxes

33 miles
_______
$4.20 per gallon

Second boxes

$25 dollars
_____
1

Multiply across 33 x $25 = 825
Multiply across $4.20 x 1 = 4.20

825/4.20 divide .= 196 miles with $25 gas

Check your work.

If you find rate $4.20 per 33 miles is .127 per mile rate

Divide $25 by .127 rate = 196 miles

If you cross multiply it’s easier but then you don’t have the boxes required in this question

Cross multiply to check your work

$4.20 / 33 miles = $25/x miles

$4.20x = 825

Divide both sides by $4.20 to solve for x

$4.20/4.20 x = 825/4.20

X = 196
