Question

A car traveled 63 miles on 3 gallons of gas. What proportion can you set up to determine how many miles, m, the car can travel on 7 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

147 miles

Explanation:

Let x be the number of miles travelled on 7 gallons, then proportion is of the form

`(miles)/(gallons)`, thus

`(63)/(3)` =
`(x)/(7)` ( cross- multiply )

3x = 63 × 7 = 441 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 147

Thus the car can travel 147 miles on 7 gallons

Answer 2

Answer:Let x be the number of miles driven on 60 gallons of gas. By setting up and solving a proportion involving x, find the value of x for the car that you have chosen. State the type of car, the mileage, and show both the set up of the proportion and the steps
