Question

If a car travels 378.8 miles on 53 liters of gas, how many liters of gas will it take to go 692 miles if the car travels at the same rate? (Round to the nearest tenth)

Answer 1

96.8 liters

Explanation:

Use a proportion. 378.8 miles is to 53 liters as 692 miles is to x liters.

378.8/53 = 692/x

Cross multiply.

378.8x = 53 * 692

378.8x = 36,676

x = 36,676/378.8

x = 96.8215...

Answer: 96.8 liters
