Question

If it takes 4 gallons of gas to drive 92 miles, how many miles can be driven using 6 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

138 miles just divide miles for 4 gal. by 4 then multiply that number by 6

Answer 2

Answer:138 miles

Explanation:

4 gallons=92 miles

6 gallons=x miles

Cross multiply the two equations

4 *x = 92*6

4x=552

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4=552/4

x=138miles

Alternatively,

4 gallons=92miles

6 gallons=x miles

Divide 92 miles by 4 gallons

92miles/4gallons=23miles/gallons

If 1 gallon=23miles

Then, 6miles multiplied by 23gallons=138miles
