A van can travel 18 miles on each gallon of gasoline. At that rate, how many miles can the van travel on 15 gallons of gasoline? 33 miles 83 miles 120 miles 270 miles Mark this and return

Answer 1

270 miles

Explanation:

cross multiply

1 × x = 15×18miles

x = 270 miles

so it travels 270 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline
