x/7 = 43/1
x = 7 * 43
x = ?
To find out how far the car will travel on seven gallons of petrol, you can use a basic proportion:
Miles per gallon = Total miles / Total gallons
Given that the car travels 43 miles on one gallon of petrol, you can set up the proportion as follows:
43 miles / 1 gallon = Total miles / 7 gallons
To solve for the total miles, you can cross multiply:
43 miles * 7 gallons = 1 gallon * Total miles
301 miles = Total miles
So, the car will travel 301 miles on seven gallons of petrol.
