Question

Abdul drove 380 miles using 14 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 418 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

15.4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using a proportion. Keep in mind that "$mi.$" is miles and "$g$" is gallons

$\frac{14g}{380mi}=\frac{g}{418}$

Cross multiply.

$380g = 5852$

Solve.

$\frac{380g}{380}=\frac{5852}{380} \\\\g = 15.4$

Therefore, Adbul would need 15.4 gallons to drive 418 miles.
