Trey can drive his car 130 miles on 4 gallons of gas. At this rate, how far can Trey drive on 6 gallons of gas?
(130/4) miles/gallon * 6 gallons = ?
130/4=32.5
32.5x=miles
32.5(6)=195 miles
To find out how far Trey can drive on 6 gallons of gas, we can use a proportion.
First, let's set up the proportion based on the information given:
130 miles / 4 gallons = x miles / 6 gallons
To solve for x, we need to cross multiply and then divide:
(130 miles) * (6 gallons) = (4 gallons) * x miles
780 miles = 4x miles
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:
780 miles / 4 = x miles
195 miles = x miles
Therefore, Trey can drive 195 miles on 6 gallons of gas.
