Question

Amelia's car used 16 gallons to travel 656 miles. How many gallons of gas would she need to travel 533 miles?

Answer 1

13 gallons

Explanation:

656 divided by 16 gallons gives 41

this means that the car is using 41 gallons for each mile driven

we can divide 533 by 41 to see how many gallons of gas are needed

533 divided by 41 is 13

so 13 gallons of gas are needed to travel 533 miles
