Pablo drove 260 miles using 12 gallons of gas. at this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 286 miles?

260 miles with 12 gallons of gas
260 miles/12 gallons=21.6667 miles/1 gallon
286 miles/(21.6667 miles/1 gallon)=13.2 gallons of gas

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

Ci hope  it  you
