A car troubles 172 miles he’s in 7 gallons of gas at that rate how far can the car trouble using 42 gallons of gas 1032 miles 1548 miles 1204 miles 1376 miles
1032 miles
Divide 172 by 7, 24.5714285714, multiply 24.5714285714 by 42, 1032
mpg=distance/gallons
distance=mgp*gallons=172/7 * 42=6*172= do the math.
To find out how far the car can travel using 42 gallons of gas, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.
We know that the car traveled 172 miles using 7 gallons of gas. So, the rate of mileage per gallon can be calculated as:
Mileage per gallon = 172 miles / 7 gallons
Now, we can use this rate to calculate the expected mileage using 42 gallons of gas:
Expected mileage = Mileage per gallon * Number of gallons
Expected mileage = (172 miles / 7 gallons) * 42 gallons
Simplifying, we get:
Expected mileage = 24 * 42 = 1,008 miles
Therefore, the car is expected to travel approximately 1,008 miles using 42 gallons of gas.
None of the given answer choices (1032, 1548, 1204, and 1376 miles) match the calculated expected mileage of 1,008 miles.
