Question

Adam drove 918 miles on 27 gallons of fuel. at this rate, how many gallons of fuel would it take to drive 510 miles.

Answer 1

Answer: 15 gallons

Explanation:

Here you are going to want to set up a proportion. 918 miles per 27 gallons = 510 miles per x gallons

918/27 = 510/x

Cross multiply and you get 918x = 13770

and you get x = 15

Or you could do 918 miles / 27 gallons = 34 miles / gallon

and divide the 510 miles of distance by how many miles per gallon, so

510 / 34

15
