To find the answer to this question, we can use a ratio to determine how many miles the truck can drive with 1 gallon of gasoline.
Given that the truck drove 120 miles with 5 gallons of gasoline, we can calculate the number of miles driven per gallon of gasoline by dividing the total distance by the total gallons used:
Miles per gallon = 120 miles / 5 gallons
= 24 miles per gallon
Now, to determine how far the truck can drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can multiply the number of gallons by the miles per gallon:
Total miles = 24 miles per gallon * 7 gallons
= 168 miles
Therefore, the truck can drive 168 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
To find out how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
We know that the truck drives 120 miles with 5 gallons of gasoline.
Let "x" be the distance the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline.
Then, we can set up the following proportion:
120 miles/5 gallons = x miles/7 gallons
To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply and divide:
5x = 120 miles * 7 gallons
5x = 840 miles * gallons
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get:
x = 840 miles/5
x = 168 miles
Therefore, the truck could drive 168 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
To find out how far the truck could drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can set up a proportion:
120 miles / 5 gallons = x miles / 7 gallons
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5 * x = 120 * 7
x = (120 * 7) / 5
x = 840 / 5
x = 168 miles
Therefore, the truck could drive 168 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
