Answer 2

Chung's go-kart can travel 55.2 miles on 1.15 gallon of gas.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Chung's go-kart can travel 48 miles on 1 gallon of gas

This can be written as:

48 miles = 1 gallon

We need to find how far can his go-kart travel on 1.15 gallons of gas.

To find this multiply both the sides by 1.15

48×1.15 miles = 1×1.15 gallon

55.2 miles = 1.15 gallon

Hence, Chung's go-kart can travel 55.2 miles on 1.15 gallon of gas.
