Question

Sara drove 96 miles on 3.2 gallons of gas. How many miles can Sara drive on 12.5 gallons of gas

Answer 1

375 miles 96 on 3.2 gallons of gas dived

Answer 2

375 miles

Explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of miles she can drive on 12.5 gallons of gas:

`(96)/(3.2)` =
`(x)/(12.5)`

Cross multiply and solve for x:

3.2x = 1200

x = 375

So, with 12.5 gallons of gas, Sara can drive 375 miles
