Answer 1

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

We know that the truck drives 150 miles with 15 gallons of gasoline. Therefore, the truck drives 150/15 = 10 miles per gallon.

Let's use x to represent the distance the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline.

Now we set up the proportion: x/7 = 10/1.

To solve for x, we cross multiply: x = 7 * 10 = 70.

Therefore, the truck could drive 70 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
