Question

if a dump truck goes 99 miles on 11 gallons how far can you go on one gallon write your answer as a fraction​

Answer 1

9/1 miles

Explanation:

You can think of this as an equation in which you are solving for g, or how many miles a gallon can take you:

1. 11g = 99

2. g = 9

3. g = 9 miles

4. g = 9/1 miles

Step 1 is given

In Step 2, both sides were divided by 11

In Step 3, it was concluded that one gallon would take you 9 miles

In Step 4, the answer was changed into an improper fraction
