Answer:

option (A) 62 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Ratio on the left = 434 miles : 14 gallons

ratio on the right = ?? : 2 gallons

Now,

The ratio on the both sides are equal

let the unknown value in the ratio be 'x'

Now, the ratio a : b can also be represented as \frac{a}{b}

therefore,

434 miles : 14 gallons = x : 2 gallons

or

⇒ \frac{\textup{434 miles}}{\textup{14 gallons}}  = \frac{\textup{x}}{\textup{2}}

or

⇒ x =  \frac{\textup{434 miles}}{\textup{14 gallons}}\times2 gallons}

or

⇒ x = 62 miles

Hence,

the correct answer is option (A) 62 miles
