A car can travel 436 miles on 17 gallons of gas. How far can it go on 22 gallons of gas?
(22/17) * 436
436/17 = x/22
Cross multiply and solve for x.
To find out how far the car can travel on 22 gallons of gas, we can use a proportion.
The given information tells us that the car can travel 436 miles on 17 gallons of gas. So, we can set up the following proportion:
436 miles / 17 gallons = x miles / 22 gallons
To solve for x (the distance the car can travel on 22 gallons of gas), we can cross-multiply and then solve for x.
17 gallons * x miles = 436 miles * 22 gallons
Simplifying this equation gives us:
17x = 9592
Dividing both sides of the equation by 17 gives us:
x = 566
Therefore, the car can go approximately 566 miles on 22 gallons of gas.
