Question

a truck drives 120 Miles and 5 gallons of gasoline how far can a truck driver with 7 gallons of gasoline

Answer 1

To find out how far a truck driver can go with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can use a proportion based on the given information:

Distance / Gallons of gasoline = 120 miles / 5 gallons.

Let's denote the distance the truck can go with 7 gallons of gasoline as "x".

x / 7 = 120 / 5.

Now we can cross multiply and solve for "x":

5x = 7 * 120.
5x = 840.
x = 840 / 5.
x = 168.

Therefore, a truck driver with 7 gallons of gasoline can go 168 miles.
