To find out how many gallons of gas would be needed to go 300 miles, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
18 gallons of gas / 400 miles = x gallons of gas /300 miles
Cross-multiplying, we get:
(18 gallons of gas) * (300 miles) = (400 miles) * (x gallons of gas)
5400 gallons*miles = 400x gallons*miles
Dividing both sides by 400:
5400/400 = x
Simplifying:
13.5 = x
Therefore, it would take 13.5 gallons of gas to travel 300 miles.
18 gallons of gas / 400 miles = x gallons of gas /300 miles
Cross-multiplying, we get:
(18 gallons of gas) * (300 miles) = (400 miles) * (x gallons of gas)
5400 gallons*miles = 400x gallons*miles
Dividing both sides by 400:
5400/400 = x
Simplifying:
13.5 = x
Therefore, it would take 13.5 gallons of gas to travel 300 miles.
