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?

StartFraction 3 over 63 EndFraction = StartFraction m over 7 EndFraction
StartFraction 7 over 63 EndFraction = StartFraction m over 3 EndFraction
StartFraction 63 over 3 EndFraction = StartFraction m over 7 EndFraction
StartFraction 63 over 7 EndFraction = StartFraction m over 3 EndFraction
