Acar travels 135 miles on 5 gallons of gasoline.
a) find the distance the car can travel if the car’s gas tank contains 11 gallons of gas.
b) find the amount of gas the car uses to travel 216 miles.

a. Distance covered using 11 gallons = 297  miles

b. number of gallons for 216 miles = 8  gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

A car travels 135 miles on 5 gallons of gasoline. This means for every distance of 135 miles, 5 gallons of gasoline is consumed.

The first question asked us to use the information above to find the distance the car can travel if the car's gas tank contains 11 gallons of gas.

since 135 miles is covered by using 5 gallons

? distance will be covered using 11 gallons

cross multiply

distance covered using 11 gallons = (135 × 11)/5

distance covered using 11 gallons = 1485/5

Distance covered using 11 gallons = 297  miles

The second question asked us to find the amount of gas the car uses to travel 216 miles.

since the car covers 135 miles using 5 gallons

216 miles distance will use ? gallons

cross multiply

number of gallons for 216 miles = (216 × 5)/135

number of gallons for 216 miles = 1080/135

number of gallons for 216 miles = 8  gallons
