uestion 7%0D%0AA)Mrs. Ebert is driving to Ohio to visit family. If her truck can drive 552 miles on 23 gallons of gas, how many gallons of gas would she need if the total trip was 840 miles?

Answer 1

To find out how many gallons of gas Mrs. Ebert would need for the total trip of 840 miles, we can set up a proportion.

The proportion would be:

552 miles / 23 gallons = 840 miles / x gallons.

To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply:

552 * x = 23 * 840.

We can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 552:

x = (23 * 840) / 552.

x = 34860 / 552.

x ≈ 63.26.

Therefore, Mrs. Ebert would need approximately 63.26 gallons of gas for the total trip of 840 miles.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let me recalculate.

To find out how many gallons of gas Mrs. Ebert would need for the total trip of 840 miles, we can set up a proportion.

The proportion would be:

552 miles / 23 gallons = 840 miles / x gallons.

To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply:

552 * x = 23 * 840.

We can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 552:

x = (23 * 840) / 552.

x = 35.068.

Therefore, Mrs. Ebert would need approximately 35.068 gallons of gas for the total trip of 840 miles.
