Xander’s new truck can travel 315 miles using 20 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many miles can Xander travel using seven gallons of gas

1 answer

To find how many miles Xander can travel using seven gallons of gas, we can set up a proportion:

315 miles / 20 gallons = x miles / 7 gallons.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

20 * x miles = 315 * 7 gallons.

Simplifying, we have:

20x miles = 2205 gallons.

Dividing both sides by 20, we find:

x = 110.25 miles.

Therefore, Xander can travel 110.25 miles using seven gallons of gas.
