If a boat uses 24 GALLONS OF GAS TO GO 69 MILES, HOW MANY MILES CAN THE boat travel on 96 gallons of gas
You can solve this the same way I showed you in your last post. Set up a proportion, cross multiply and solve for x.
To find out how many miles the boat can travel on 96 gallons of gas, we need to set up a proportion using the provided information.
We know that the boat can travel 69 miles on 24 gallons of gas. Let's set up the proportion:
Miles1 / Gallons1 = Miles2 / Gallons2
Plugging in the known values:
69 / 24 = Miles2 / 96
Now we can solve for Miles2 by cross-multiplication:
69 * 96 = 24 * Miles2
6648 = 24 * Miles2
Divide both sides of the equation by 24:
Miles2 = 6648 / 24
Miles2 ≈ 277
Therefore, the boat can travel approximately 277 miles on 96 gallons of gas.
