How many miles can a car travel on 15 gallons of gas if it travels 28 miles on 1 gallon of gas?
A. 43 miles
B. 270 miles
C. 405 miles
D. 420 miles
To solve this problem, we need to use the ratio of miles per gallon.
The car travels 28 miles on 1 gallon of gas, so:
1 gallon of gas = 28 miles
To find out how many miles the car can travel on 15 gallons of gas, we can set up a proportion:
1 gallon of gas = 28 miles
15 gallons of gas = x miles
Solving for x, we can cross-multiply:
1 gallon of gas * x miles = 15 gallons of gas * 28 miles
x = 420 miles
Therefore, the car can travel 420 miles on 15 gallons of gas.
The answer is D. 420 miles.
To find out how many miles a car can travel on 15 gallons of gas, you need to calculate the total distance traveled on 15 gallons.
First, you need to determine the number of miles the car can travel on one gallon of gas: 28 miles.
Next, multiply the number of miles per gallon by the number of gallons: 28 miles/gallon * 15 gallons = 420 miles.
Therefore, the car can travel 420 miles on 15 gallons of gas.
So, the correct answer is option D. 420 miles.
To determine the number of miles a car can travel on 15 gallons of gas, you need to multiply the number of miles it can travel on 1 gallon of gas by the number of gallons.
The car travels 28 miles on 1 gallon of gas.
So, it can travel 28 miles * 15 gallons = 420 miles on 15 gallons of gas.
Therefore, the car can travel 420 miles on 15 gallons of gas.
The correct answer is D. 420 miles.
