Question

Filbert's truck can travel 152 miles on 5.7 gallons of gas. How far can he travel on a full tank of 18 gallons of gas? (Round your answer to the nearest whole mile.)
2736 miles
480 miles
866 miles
48 miles

Answer 1

Set up a ratio of miles traveled over gallons of gas used:

We know 152 miles / 5.7 gallons.

We want to find X miles / 18 gallons

So we have:

152/5.7 = X/18

Cross multiply:

(152 x 18) = 5.7X

2736 = 5.7x

Divide both sides by 5.7:

x = 2736 / 5.7

x = 480

They can drive 480 miles.

Answer 2

The answer is A; 2,736 Miles.
