Question

your car can drive 440 miles on a tank of 22 gallons. how far can it drive on 56 gallons? round your answer to the nearest mile.

Answer 1

1120 miles

Explanation:

You'll need to find how many miles your car can go on 1 gallon of gas. You'll do so by dividing 440 miles by 22 gallons.

`(440)/(22)=20\\` miles

Then multiply 20 miles by 56 gallons to know how many miles you can go with 56 gallons.

20 x 56 = 1120 miles.

The answer is 1120 miles.

basically, find the unit rate, so the distance per gallon. Then use that unit rate to find the distance for x number of gallons (x is just a number).

Hope this helps -_-
