used 15.4 gallons of gas to travel 300
miles. At this rate, how many gallons
will she use to travel from Clearwater
Beach to NJ, a distance of 1,122 mi?

Answer 1

57.596 gal

Explanation:

Use a proportion.

15.4 gallons is to 300 miles as x gallons is to 1122 miles

15.4/300 = x/1122

300x = 15.4 × 1122

300x = 17278.8

x = 57.596

Answer: 57.596 gal
