To solve the proportion \( \frac{22}{1} = \frac{m}{5} \), we can cross-multiply:
\[
22 \cdot 5 = 1 \cdot m
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
110 = m
\]
Thus, you could drive \( m = 110 \) miles on 5 gallons of gas.
\[
22 \cdot 5 = 1 \cdot m
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
110 = m
\]
Thus, you could drive \( m = 110 \) miles on 5 gallons of gas.
