If 3 gallons take you 75 miles
x gallons will take you 2000 miles
ratio setup:
3/x = 75/2000
75x = 6000
x = 80
total cost = 2x = ....
each equal share = 2x/3 = ....
x gallons will take you 2000 miles
ratio setup:
3/x = 75/2000
75x = 6000
x = 80
total cost = 2x = ....
each equal share = 2x/3 = ....
For equal share, divide by 4 persons.
