Trey can drive his car 130 miles on 4 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many miles can he drive on 6 gallons of gas?
130/4 = x/6
Cross multiply and solve for x.
To find out how many miles Trey can drive on 6 gallons of gas, we can set up a proportion based on the rate given.
The rate of miles driven per gallon of gas is given as:
130 miles / 4 gallons
To find the number of miles driven on 6 gallons, we can set up the proportion:
130 miles / 4 gallons = x miles / 6 gallons
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
4 * x = 130 * 6
Simplifying the equation:
4x = 780
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:
x = 780 / 4
x = 195
Therefore, Trey can drive 195 miles on 6 gallons of gas.
