ANSWER: × = 2,380

Therefore, the car can travel 2,380 miles on 100 gallons of gas at the same rate.


Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a proportion to solve this
problem. Let's set up a proportion with the miles per gallon (mpg) that the car gets:

238 miles / 10 gallons = x miles / 100
gallons

We can cross-multiply and solve for x:

238 * 100 = 10 * x

23,800 = 10 * ×

× = 23,800 / 10

× = 2,380

Therefore, the car can travel 2,380 miles on 100 gallons of gas at the same rate.
