Question

A car uses 20 gallons of fuel to travel 440 miles. How much fuel will the car use to travel 1054 miles?
A) about 40 gallons
B) about 48 gallons
C) about 231 gallons
D) about 440 gallons

Answer 1

If a car uses 20 gallons of fuel for 440 miles. Then we know that we can divide 440 by 20 to see how many gallons of fuel the car uses for 1 mile. Then divide that from 1054.

As so:

440 / 20 = 22 / 1
1 miles per 22 gallons. 

Next, we divide 22 by 1054:

1054 / 22 = 47.90...

So, the answer is B. About 48 gallons.
