Question

Trina's car uses 12 gallons of gas to travel 144 miles. If she has 6 gallons of gas in the tank, how much more gas will she need to drive 240 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first you need to divide 144 by 12 = 12

then you need to figure if you split that in half it equals 6.

now we know that for every 12 miles you drive, you need 1 gallon of gas

now you need to divide 240 by 6 = 40

so you will need 40 gallons of gas to drive that far

we are not one yet, then you need to take away 6 from 40 witch comes to 34.

so you will need 34 more gallons of gas
