Tonya's car averages 240 miles for each 10 gallons of gasoline. How many gallons of gasoline will the car need travel 216 miles?
Answered by Ms. Sue
240/10 = 24 miles per gallon.

216/24 = ?
Answered by Kayla
1) The first part of the of the problem means that for every 10 gallons of gas, you can drive 240 miles.
2) You can make a ratio where 240mi/10gal = 216mi/Xgal.
3)Then cross multiply to get 240X=2160.
4) X = 9gal
