Ann's car can go 140 miles on 4 gallons of gas. During a drive last weekend, Ann used 5 gallons of gas. How far did she drive?

Answer 1

• Answer:

175 miles

• Explanation:

Hi there !

4 gallons .......... 140 miles

Answer 2

140 miles = 4 gallons

Divide both sides by 4 gallons.

35 miles = 1 gallon

Multiply both sides by 5 gallons

175 miles = 5 gallons

Ann drove 175 miles on 5 gallons of gas.
