To find out how far the car can travel using 42 gallons of gas, we can set up a proportion.
First, let's determine the rate at which the car travels in miles per gallon. We can do this by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of gas used in each scenario.
Rate of the car = Distance traveled (miles) / Amount of gas used (gallons)
Rate of the car = 136 miles / 7 gallons
Now, we can use this rate to find the distance the car can travel using 42 gallons of gas.
Distance = Rate of the car * Amount of gas used
Distance = (136 miles / 7 gallons) * 42 gallons
By simplifying this equation, we can cancel out the gallons unit, leaving us with the distance in miles:
Distance = (136 miles * 42) / 7
Now, let's calculate the distance:
Distance = 5712 miles
Therefore, the car can travel approximately 5712 miles using 42 gallons of gas.
