To determine how far the truck can drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we first need to find the truck's fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (mpg).
1. Calculate the truck's fuel efficiency:
\[
\text{Fuel Efficiency} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Gallons}} = \frac{120 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ gallons}} = 24 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]
2. Now, we can use this fuel efficiency to find out how far the truck can drive with 7 gallons:
\[
\text{Distance with 7 gallons} = \text{Fuel Efficiency} \times \text{Gallons} = 24 \text{ miles per gallon} \times 7 \text{ gallons} = 168 \text{ miles}
\]
Therefore, the truck can drive **168 miles** with 7 gallons of gasoline.
