Answer:

400 miles

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Darius filled up his gas tank with 24 gallons of gas

Required

The distance 24 gallons will cover

Step two:

1 mile will take 0.06 gallons

hence x miles will take 24 gallons

cross multiply we have

0.06x= 24

divide both sides by 0.06

x= 24/0.06

x=400 miles
