Step-by-step explanation:

17g = 335miles

1g = 335÷17

= 19.70588235

284miles = (284÷19.70588235) × 1

284miles = 14.4119403

Answers:

284miles = 14.41gallons (2.dp)

284miles = 15gallons (nearest whole number)

A vehicle uses 1 1/8 gallons of gasoline to travel 13 1/2 miles. At this rate, how many miles can the vehicle travel per gallon

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem above is related to the topic on "Equivalent Ratios." The missing term above is "the number of miles that the vehicle can travel per gallon of gasoline." In order to find this term, you have to use the "cross products."

Let n be the missing term.

$1\frac{1}{8} gallons$ / $13\frac{1}{2} miles$ = $\frac{1 gallon}{n}$

$\frac{9}{8} gallons$ / $\frac{27}{2} miles$ = $\frac{1 gallon}{n}$

$\frac{9}{8}$ x n = $\frac{27}{2}$ x 1 gallon

n = $\frac{27}{2}$ ÷ $\frac{9}{8}$

n = $\frac{27}{2}$ x $\frac{8}{9}$

n = 12 miles

Therefore, the vehicle can travel 12 miles per gallon of gasoline.
