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 68 68 12.5 12.5 17 17 25
To find the number of gallons needed to drive 425 miles, we can use a proportion.
The proportion can be set up as:
34 miles / 2 gallons = 425 miles / x gallons
Cross multiplying, we get:
34x = 2 * 425
34x = 850
Dividing both sides by 34, we find:
x = 25
Therefore, it would take the truck 25 gallons of gas to be able to drive 425 miles.
