Question

A car went 64 miles on 2 gallons of gas in the morning, 16 miles on 1/2 gallon of gas at noon, and 32 miles on 1 gallon of gas at 5:00 PM. Is the amount of gas used proportional to the distance the car drove? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes,

Explanation:

You take 64 miles for 2 gallons and divide it by 2. And it leads up to 32 miles and 1 gallon. Now you divide that by 2 again and get 16 miles and 1/2 gallon. So, to check that you can take 16+16 and you get 32 and take 32+32 and you get 64.
