Question

​Ian's 's car can go 231 miles on 7 gallons of gas. During a drive last​ weekend, Ian used 6 gallons of gas. How far did Ian ​drive? Use pencil and paper. Explain how the problem changes if you were given the distance, he drove last weekend instead of how much gas used.

Answer 1

Answer: 198 miles

Explanation:

First you find how many miles Ian can go per gallon of gas. The equation to find that would be;

231mi ÷ 7lb = 33mi

Then using that you multiply that by the gallons he used the previous day;

33mi × 6lb = 198mi
