Question

Ben used 10 1/2 gallons to drive 4 3/4 hours. How many gallons did Ben use in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

About 2.2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the following proportion:

$\frac{10.5}{4.75}$ = $\frac{x}{1}$

Cross multiply.

10.5 x 1 = 10.5

4.75 x X = 4.75x

4.75x = 10.5

Divide both sides by 4.75x.

10.5/4.75 = 2.2
