Question

Michaela drives 92 miles on 4 gallons of gas how many miles can she drive on 11 gallons of gas

Answer 1

253 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Michaela drives 92 miles on 4 gallons of gas.

Let the number of miles she drove on 11 gallons = x

Expressing these as a ratio of miles to gallons:

`\frac{92\text{ miles}}{4\text{ gallons}}=\frac{x\text{ miles}}{11\text{ gallons}}`

Next, solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} 4x=92*11 \\ x=(92*11)/(4) \\ x=253\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

She can drive 253 miles on 11 gallons of gas.
