Question

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses is directly proportional to the number of hours

spent flying. The helicopter flies for 2 hours and uses 24 gallons of fuel
. Find the number of
gallons of fuel that the helicopter uses to fly for 5 hours,

Answer 1

60 gallons

Explanation:

We can create a ratio for this. If we consider 2 as the 1 in the ratio, we have a ratio of 1 : 2.5. Therefore, we just need to multiply 24 by 2.5, which equals 60.
