A truck can drive 34 miles on 2 gallons of gas. How many gallons would it take the truck to be able to drive 425 miles?(1 point) Responses 25 25 68 68 12.5 12.5 17
To find out how many gallons it would take for the truck to drive 425 miles, we set up a proportion:
34 miles / 2 gallons = 425 miles / x gallons
Cross multiplying, we get:
34x = 2 * 425
34x = 850
x = 850 / 34
x ≈ 25
So, it would take approximately 25 gallons for the truck to be able to drive 425 miles.
