Question

A test of a hybrid car resulted in 4,840 miles driven using

88 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas will this vehicle
need to travel 1,155 miles?

Answer 1

21 gallons

Explanation:

4,840 miles = 88 gallons

=> 1155 miles = x gallons

=> Cross-multiply

=> 4840 * x = 1155 * 88

=> 4840x = 101640

=> 4840x/4840 = 101640/4840

=> x = 21

The car can travel 1,155 miles using 21 gallons.

Answer 2

Hey there!

We can write the proportion:

`88/4840 = x/1155`

101640=4840x

x=21

The car would need 21 gallons of gas to travel 1155 miles.
