Question

You drive 351.6 miles using 16.4 gallons of gasoline. At this rate, how many gallons of gasoline would you need to drive 1000 miles? Round your answer to the tenth place (one place after the decimal).

Answer 1

46.6 gallons

Explanation:

351.6 miles = 16.4 gallons

1000 miles = x gallons

simply cross multiply

351.6 × x = 1000× 16.4 gallons

351.6x = 16400 gallons

x = 16400÷ 351.6

x= 46.643913538

x = 46.6 gallons (rounded to the tenth place)
