Answer 1

To find out how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can set up a proportion:

120 miles / 5 gallons = x miles / 7 gallons

Cross multiplying, we get:

5x = 120 * 7

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = (120 * 7) / 5

Simplifying, we get:

x = 840 / 5

x = 168

Therefore, the truck could drive 168 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
