Question

A car uses 20 gallons of fuel to travel 440 miles. How much fuel will the car use to travel 1054 miles

Answer 1

So we now that there's
`(440)/(20) = 22`//
gallons per mile used.

Now if we divide
`(1054)/(22) = 47.9` //
round that to 48 and the car will use around 48 gallons to travel 1054 miles

Answer 2

The total distance is 1054 miles

The rate of fuel consumption is 20/440 = 1/22 gallons per mile.

1/22 gallons/mile * 1054 miles = 1054/22 gallons = 47.9 gallons
