Answer:160 miles
Explanation:
You can work out this type of question by using the 'unitary' method, which means finding out how much for ONE.
If you set out the steps with short sentences it will be clearer.
On 15 gallons, a car can travel 400 miles÷15↓
On 1 gallon, a car can travel 400÷15=262
miles
Once you know the distance travelled on 1 gallon of fuel, you can work out the distance travelled for any number of gallons.
On 6 gallons the car can travel
6

26
2
3
miles.
(6 times further than on 1 gallon)

here i don't know if this can help you but hey i tried.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1st way:
Solve directly
6p=0.6(5p+15)
Open bracket
6p = 3p + 9
Collecting like terms
6p - 3p = 9
3p = 9
Dividing by 3
p = 9/3
p = 3
2nd way:
6p=0.6(5p+15)
Convert the decimal to fraction
6p= 6/10(5p+15)
6p= 3/5(5p+15)
6p= 3/5(5p) +3/5(15)
6p = 3p + 9
Collecting like terms
6p - 3p = 9
3p = 9
Dividing by 3
p = 9/3
p = 3
