Nicole drove

355 miles using 17 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would she need to drive 284 miles?

Answer 1

13.6 i believe, but that could, should be right tho.

Explanation:

355/17=20.88235294 then 284/20.88235294=13.6

Answer 2

For this case, you want to know how many gallons of gasoline Nicole needs to drive 284 miles, knowing that with 17 she drove 355 miles. For this, we make a rule of three:

`355 \ miles -----------> 17 \ gallons\\284 \ miles -----------> x`

Where "x" represents the number of gallons consumed in 284 miles.

`x = \frac {284 * 17} {355}\\x = 13.6 \ gallons`

So, Nicole will need 13.6 gallons of gas to drive 284 miles

Answer:

13.6 gallons
