Question

A car travels 18 miles on a gallon of gas. The car used 65 gallons of gas last week.compute the number of miles the car traveled?

Answer 1

Answer: 1170 miles

1 gallon of gas --> 18 miles

65 gallon of gas --> 18 * 65 (which is 1170 miles)

Answer 2

Answer: 1170 miles

Work Shown:

(18 miles)/(1 gallon) = (x miles)/(65 gallons)

18/1 = x/65

x/65 = 18

x = 65*18

x = 1170
