Question

Chris can drive 41 miles for every 3 gallons of gas. At this

rate, how many gallons of gas will he need to travel to his
in-laws' house, 369 miles away?

Answer 1

27 gallons

Explanation:

If for every 41 miles, 3 gallons are needed. Using what we know, 369 ÷ 41 = 9. This means, to get 369 miles, we need to times the first amoiyng of gallons needed to drive 41 miles, which is 3, and times it by 9. (3×9=27) Therefore, 27 gallons of gas is needed.
