A car travels 172 miles using 7 gallons of gas. At that rate, how far can the car travel using 42 gallons of gas?

Solve the ratio:

x/42 = 172/7

or
notice that 42 gall is 6 times 7 gall
so the distance should be 6 times as much.

6 Times Thank you so Much @Reiny

Can someone give the answers please!!!!!!!!!!!

To find out how far the car can travel using 42 gallons of gas, we first need to find the rate at which the car travels in miles per gallon.

To do this, we can divide the total distance traveled (172 miles) by the amount of gas used (7 gallons):

Rate = Distance / Gas used
Rate = 172 miles / 7 gallons
Rate ≈ 24.57 miles per gallon

Now that we know the car's rate of mileage, we can find the distance it can travel using 42 gallons of gas:

Distance = Rate * Gas used
Distance = 24.57 miles per gallon * 42 gallons
Distance ≈ 1032 miles

Therefore, the car can travel approximately 1032 miles using 42 gallons of gas.
