Question

Just number Four don’t do the one at the top

Answer 1

A; 11 gallons

Explanation:

So, lets go over what we know:

The car goes 362 miles with 14 gallons of gas.

What do we need to find?

How many gallons of gas is needed to go 285 miles.

We can take the miles that correspond with the unknown amount of gas(285), and divide them by the miles we know(362), to get the percentage of how far the car went. This percentage is 285/362 = 78.7%.

Now, we multiply our percentage by our known gas amount, to get our unknown amount of gas: 14* 0.787 = 11.022. This can be rounded to 11 gallons of gas.

This is answer A.

Hope this helps!

-------------------------------

362 x = 285 (14)

x = 3990/362

x = 11.022... or 11
