Question

A car can travel 300 miles on 10 gallons of gas. The ratio is 300 miles to 10 gallons.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 30:1

2) 30:1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Miles-Gas(Gallons): 30 - 1 , 60 - 2 , 90 - 3 , 120 - 4 , 150 - 5 , 180 - 6 , 210 - 7 , 240 - 8 , 270 - 9 , 300 - 10

1) We have to find the ratio of the given problem.

$Ratio = \displaystyle\frac{Miles}{Gallon}$

$= \displaystyle\frac{300}{10}\\\\=\frac{30}{1}\\\\=30:1$

The ratio is 30:1 and it can be read as 30 miles per gallon of gas which means the car covers a distance of 30 miles in 1 gallon of gas.

2) If we divide the obtained ration by the second quantity of ratio, then,

$\dispkastyle\frac{\frac{300}{10}}{\frac{10}{10}} = \frac{30}{1} = 30:1$

The new ratio is 30:1.

This ration is in proportion, when two ratios are equal thy are said to be in proportion.
