A car traveled 63 miles on 3 gallon of gas. What proportion can you set up to determine how many miles, m, the car can travel on 7 gallons of gas?

Respuesta :

63/3= 21
So 21 miles per gallon of gas
To find 7, you multiply it by 7
21*7= 147
147 miles on 7 gallons of gas

Answer:

The answer is 147 miles in 7 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

A car traveled 63 miles on 3 gallon of gas.

Means in 1 gallon of gas, it will travel = [tex]\frac{63}{3}[/tex] = 21 miles

Therefore, the car traveled in 7 gallons of gas =[tex]21\times7[/tex] = 147 miles

The proportion can be set as :

[tex]\frac{63}{3}\times7[/tex] = 147 miles.
