Question

A truck needs 7 gallons of fuel to travel 56 miles. Can the truck travel 48 miles with 6 gallons of fuel? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:No;
`(7)/(56)` and
`(48)/(6)` are not proportional because 7x6 isn't equal to 48x6

Explanation:

Answer 2

The truck can travel 48 miles with 6 gallons.
Because if you divide 56(miles) by 7(gallons), you will get 8. 8 is the miles per gallon. so if you multiply 8(miles per gallon) by 6(gallons) you will get 48 which is how far the truck can travel on 8 gallons of fuel.

Hope this helps
