Lamonte's car used 5 gallons to travel 125 miles. How many gallons of gas would he need to travel 400 miles?

Answer 1

First, let's determine the number of miles Lamonte's car can travel on one gallon of gas:

125 miles / 5 gallons = 25 miles per gallon

Now that we know the car's fuel efficiency, we can calculate the amount of gas needed to travel 400 miles:

400 miles / 25 miles per gallon = 16 gallons

Therefore, Lamonte would need 16 gallons of gas to travel 400 miles.
