a truck driver can travel 560 miles of gas 28 gallons of gas how far can he go on 35 gallons

1 answer

To find out how far the truck driver can go on 35 gallons of gas, we first need to determine the miles per gallon (MPG) the truck driver is getting.

The truck driver can travel 560 miles on 28 gallons of gas.

First, we calculate the MPG:

\[ \text{MPG} = \frac{\text{Total miles}}{\text{Total gallons}} = \frac{560 \text{ miles}}{28 \text{ gallons}} = 20 \text{ miles per gallon} \]

Now that we know the truck driver can travel 20 miles per gallon, we can calculate how far he can go on 35 gallons:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{MPG} \times \text{Gallons} = 20 \text{ miles per gallon} \times 35 \text{ gallons} = 700 \text{ miles} \]

So, the truck driver can travel 700 miles on 35 gallons of gas.
