A truck can drive 34 miles on 2 gallons of gas. How many gallons would it take the truck to be able to drive 425 miles?(1 point) Responses 25 25 68 68 12.5 12.5 17

Answer 1

To find out how many gallons it would take for the truck to drive 425 miles, we set up a proportion:

34 miles / 2 gallons = 425 miles / x gallons

Cross multiplying, we get:

34x = 2 * 425
34x = 850
x = 850 / 34
x ≈ 25

So, it would take approximately 25 gallons for the truck to be able to drive 425 miles.
