Salinas will use 32 gallons for 480 miles

<h3>How to calculate the number of gallons required ? </h3>

Salinas used 15.6 gallons of gas for 234 miles

Miles can be described as the distance travelled by an object or an individual

The first step is to calculate the number of miles travelled using 1 gallon

15.6= 234

1= x

cross multiply both sides

15.6x= 234

x= 234/15.6

x= 15

1 gallon will take her 15 miles

Therefore, the number of gallons required for 480 miles can be calculated as follows

1= 15

x= 480

cross multiply both sides

15x= 480

x= 480/15

x= 32

Hence Salinas will require 32 gallons for 480 miles of the journey

I would be more than happy to help!
So to find the balance use this equation.

Explanation: “The distributive property is where a number or value is distributed into a whole equation. Based on the work below as you can see I “distributed” 5 to (3m+4n) meaning I multiplied 5&3m and 5&4n, when I multiply 5&3 that give me 15, and when I multiply 5&4 that gives me 20. So when finally simplified my new equation is 15m+20n”

Make sure when you is the distributive property that you always add the variables because it will be wrong.
