A truck drives 150 miles and uses 15 gallons of gasoline.%C2%A0 How far could the truck drive with 7 gallons of gasoline?%C2%A0 (6.RP.3.b)(1 point)
To find out how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can set up a proportion.
We know that the truck drives 150 miles with 15 gallons of gasoline. Therefore, the truck drives 150/15 = 10 miles per gallon.
Let's use x to represent the distance the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline.
Now we set up the proportion: x/7 = 10/1.
To solve for x, we cross multiply: x = 7 * 10 = 70.
Therefore, the truck could drive 70 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
To find out how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can set up a proportion using the information given.
The fuel efficiency can be calculated as:
Fuel efficiency (miles per gallon) = Distance (miles) / Fuel consumption (gallons)
From the question, we know that the truck drove 150 miles and used 15 gallons of gasoline.
So, the fuel efficiency of the truck is:
150 miles / 15 gallons = 10 miles per gallon
Now, we can use this fuel efficiency to determine how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline.
Distance (miles) = Fuel efficiency (miles per gallon) * Fuel consumption (gallons)
Distance (miles) = 10 miles per gallon * 7 gallons
Distance (miles) = 70 miles
Therefore, the truck could drive 70 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
To determine how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we need to find the distance that can be covered per gallon of gasoline.
In this case, we know that the truck drives 150 miles using 15 gallons of gasoline. We can calculate the distance per gallon by dividing the total distance by the total gasoline used:
Distance per gallon = Total distance / Total gasoline used
Distance per gallon = 150 miles / 15 gallons
Distance per gallon = 10 miles
So, the truck can travel 10 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Now, to find out how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we simply multiply the distance per gallon by the number of gallons available:
Distance with 7 gallons = Distance per gallon * Number of gallons
Distance with 7 gallons = 10 miles/gallon * 7 gallons
Distance with 7 gallons = 70 miles
Therefore, the truck could drive 70 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
