Answered by Ms. Sue
You have two numbers. Do you think you should
add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?

What answer do you get?
Answered by whatever
add right? and you get 43 right?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Think about it. The car goes 28 miles on one gallon. So it must go twice that on two gallons. That's 56 gallons on 2 gallons of gas.

Try again.
