Question

Mackenzie's car used 4 gallons to travel 108 miles. How many gallons of gas would she need to travel 162 miles?

Answer 1

6 Gallons

Explanation:

If 4 Gallons can take her 108 miles, that means 1 Gallon will take her 27 miles (108/4). Since her car can go 27 miles per gallon we should divide 162 by 27 to see how many gallons the car will consume in 162 miles.

Answer 2

6 gallons.

Explanation:

4 gallons -> 108 miles

? -> 162 miles

First, 162÷108=1.5

This means, 108 x 1.5 will give me 162.

So if I times 1.5 on one side, I do the same with the other.

4 gallons x 1.5 = 6 gallons

I Hope that helps:)
