Question

Heather drove 265 miles using 10 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would she need to drive 424 miles?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Next bit of info that we have is 424 miles. Miles go on the numerator, and gallons, which we will call "x" will go on the denominator. It should be set up like this: 265/10 = 424/x Once you cross multiply you should get 265x=4240. Divide 265 by both sides and the answer is 16 gallons. Sorry if its wrong
