Answer:

The answer to your question is 15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

distance 1 = 340 mi

volume 1 = 10 gal

distance 2 = 510 mi

volume 2 = ?

Process

To solve this problem we know that there is a direct proportion between the distance traveled and the gasoline used. The more distance traveled, the more gasoline used.

340 mi ---------------------- 10 gal

510 mi --------------------- x

x = (510 x 10)/340

x = 5100/340

x = 15 gallons

Answer:

✑ $\underline{ \underline{ \sf{First ,\: Let's \: learn \: about \: the \: ratio}}} :$

Let us consider , there are 30 boys and 40 girls in a school. So, the ratio of number of boys to number of girls = $\sf{ \frac{30}{40} = \frac{3}{4} = 3:4}$ and read as 3 is to 4. We can say , the ratio compares two of more quantities of same unit. Until two quantities have same units , it is meaningless to compare by ratio. So, to find the ratio of two quantities , it is necessary to express them in same unit or of same kind. Since , they are in division form. So ,ratio is unit less quantity. Thus , the ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind in division which doesn't have any units. For example : $\sf{ \frac{a}{b}}$ is a ratio and is read as ' a is to b ' in which ' a : is antecedent and ' b ' is called consequent.
