To find out how far the truck can drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can use a proportion:
150 miles / 15 gallons = x miles / 7 gallons
To solve for x, we can use cross products:
15 * x = 150 * 7
15x = 1050
Dividing both sides by 15:
x = 1050 / 15
x = 70
Therefore, the truck could drive 70 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
150 miles / 15 gallons = x miles / 7 gallons
To solve for x, we can use cross products:
15 * x = 150 * 7
15x = 1050
Dividing both sides by 15:
x = 1050 / 15
x = 70
Therefore, the truck could drive 70 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
