Question

Latoya drove 240 miles using 9 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would she need to drive 216 miles?

Answer 1

8.1 gallons of gas

Answer 2

8.10 or 8

Explanation:

you divide the miles with how many tanks of gas was used to find how much 1 gallon can take you.

240/9=26.66

now that you know how much 1 gallon of gas can take you you have to divide 216 by 26.66 to find how many gallons you would need

216/26=8.10
