To find out how much fuel the car will use to travel 1054 miles, you can set up a proportion based on the information given.
20 gallons is used to travel 440 miles, so:
20 gallons is to 440 miles as X gallons is to 1054 miles.
20/440 = X/1054
Cross multiply:
440X = 20 * 1054
440X = 21080
Divide by 440 to solve for X:
X = 21080 / 440
X = 47.91
Therefore, the car will use approximately 47.91 gallons of fuel to travel 1054 miles.
A car uses 20 gallons of fuel to travel 440 miles. How much fuel will the car use to travel 1054 miles?
