Answer 2

Given:

At 9 gallons, it can travel 396 miles.

Find: At one gallon, it can travel ___ miles.

Solution:

First, let's fill in the number line with the information we have.

Then, to find the missing value ?, let's do cross multiplication.

`\begin{gathered} ?*9=1*396 \\ ?*9=396 \end{gathered}`

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 9.

`\begin{gathered} (?*9)/(9)=(396)/(9) \\ ?=44 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, on 1 gallon of gas, the car can travel 44 miles.
