Question

1. Tanisha drove 120 miles on 5 gallons of gas. How many miles can she drive if she has 12 gallons of gas?​

Answer 1

To find the amount of miles, we can begin by identifying the unit rate through division:

120 miles / 5 gallons = 24 miles for each gallon

Using this unit rate, we can multiply by 12 to find the amount of miles that can be driven with 12 gallons:

12 gallons • 24 miles per gallon = 288 miles

With 12 gallons of gas, Tanisha can drive 288 miles at most.
