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 68 68 12.5 12.5 17 17 25

Answer 1

To find the number of gallons needed to drive 425 miles, we can use a proportion.

The proportion can be set up as:

34 miles / 2 gallons = 425 miles / x gallons

Cross multiplying, we get:

34x = 2 * 425

34x = 850

Dividing both sides by 34, we find:

x = 25

Therefore, it would take the truck 25 gallons of gas to be able to drive 425 miles.
