laura consumed 10 gallons of gas when he drove 25miles

but we dont know how many gallons of gas she consumed when she drove 441 miles

for every 25 miles she will consume 10 gallons of gas

25 miles ===== 10gallons

441 miles ===== x gallons

cross multiplication

25 * x = 441 x 10

25x = 4410

divide both sides by 25

25x /25 = 4410/25

x = 176.4 gallons

she will consumed approximately 176.4 gallons of gas if she drove 441 miles

the answer is 176.4 gallons.
