Question

if the car always uses the same amount of gasoline each mile, how many gallons of gasoline would be needed to travel 480 miles? 20 24 33 39

Answer 1

The gallons of gasoline used will be 24 for 480 miles.

For 120 miles driven, the 6 gallons of gasoline is used. So, the rate of gasoline consumption is 0.05 gallons per mile.

The other data states the same rate of consumption. For instance, amount of gasoline required for 300 miles = 300 × 0.05

Amount of gasoline required for 300 miles = 15. This proves the rate of consumption is same. So, gasoline required for 480 miles = 480 × 0.05

Amount of gasoline required for 480 miles = 24 gallons.

Hence, 24 gallons of gasoline is required.
