Question

Keith drove 436 miles using 16 gallons of gas at this rate how many miles would he drive using 14 gallons of gas

Answer 1

This Question is related to Direct Proportionality

Here : The Number of Miles Driven is Directly Proportional to Number of Gallons of Gas

Number of Miles ∝ Gallons of Gas

Given Keith with 16 Gallons of Gas Drove 436 Miles

⇒ Keith with 1 Gallon of Gas would Drive -
`(436)/(16)` Miles

⇒ Keith with 1 Gallon of Gas would Drive : 27.25 Miles

⇒ Keith with 14 Gallons of Gas would Drive : 14 × 27.25 Miles

⇒ Keith with 14 Gallons of Gas would Drive : 381.5 Miles
