Question

A motorcycle can go 40 miles using one gallon of gas. About how many gallons of gas will be used to go 325 kilometers?

Answer 1

5.025 gallons

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 325 kilometers to miles

`325 = 201`

Step 2: Set up a fraction

`(40)/(1)=(201)/(x)`

Step 3: Cross multiply

`40 * x = 40\\\\201 * 1 = 201`

Step 4: Divide the values left

`201 / 40\\\\= (201)/(40)\\\\= 5.025`

Therefore, about 5.025 gallons of gas will be used to go 325 kilometers.
