have you try using a ratio??
225miles : 10 gallons
279miles : x gallons
Lucy drove 225 miles using 10 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would she need to drive 279 miles?

I have tried and am not sure if the answer is 12.4 gallons or 15.4 gallons. Would the ratio look like this
225/10 =279/x
225/10 =279/x
1665.0 or 1675.0 gallon Is this correct
