Question

A motorcycle can go 40 miles using one gallon of gas. About how many gallons of gas will be used to go 325 kilometers?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.025 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert 325 kilometers to miles

$325 = 201$

Step 2: Set up a fraction

$\frac{40}{1}=\frac{201}{x}$

Step 3: Cross multiply

$40 \times x = 40\\\\201 \times 1 = 201$

Step 4: Divide the values left

$201 \div 40\\\\= \frac{201}{40}\\\\= 5.025$

Therefore, about 5.025 gallons of gas will be used to go 325 kilometers.
