Ellie's car used 11 gallons to travel 462 miles. How far can she travel on 14 gallons?

Answer 1

To find out how far Ellie can travel on 14 gallons, we can set up a proportion:

11 gallons / 462 miles = 14 gallons / x miles

Cross multiplying, we get:

11x = 14 * 462

11x = 6468

Dividing both sides by 11, we get:

x = 588

Therefore, Ellie can travel 588 miles on 14 gallons.
