Question

"The Martin family's truck gets an average of 25 miles per gallon of fuel. Predict how many miles they will be able to get from 7 gallons of fuel by using equivalent rates." (Explain with fractions/ equivalent rate in detail pls)

Answer 1

Answer:

175 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 25 miles per gallon of fuel

Miles : gallons = 25 : 1

Predict how many miles they will be able to get from 7 gallons of fuel by using equivalent rates

Let x = number miles

Miles : gallons = x : 7

To find x

25 : 1 = x : 7

25/1 = x/7

Cross product

25*7 = 1*x

175 = x

x = 175 miles

Number miles = 175
