Question

Mr. Padilla drove 10 miles, and his car used up to 5 gallons of gas. How many miles can he drive with 16 gallons of gas?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If 5 gallons equals 10 miles, then we can divide to find how many miles 1 gallon can take him.

5÷5=1

10÷5=2

So, with 1 gallon he can drive 2 miles.

Now, we know that we can multiply to find the answer.

1×16=16

2×16=32

So, he can drive 32 miles.

Answer:

32 miles
