840 miles
To find the distance 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
5x = 840
Dividing both sides by 5:
x = 840 / 5
x = 168
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 need to set up a proportion based on the given information.
We know that the truck drives 120 miles with 5 gallons of gasoline. So, we can set up the following proportion:
120 miles / 5 gallons = x miles / 7 gallons
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
5 gallons * x miles = 120 miles * 7 gallons
This simplifies to:
5x = 840 miles
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 840 miles / 5
x = 168 miles
Therefore, the truck could drive 168 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
To determine how far the truck can drive with 7 gallons of gasoline, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
The truck drove 120 miles with 5 gallons of gasoline, so we can set up the following proportion:
120 miles / 5 gallons = x miles / 7 gallons
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
(120 miles) * (7 gallons) = (5 gallons) * (x miles)
840 miles = 5x
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5:
840 miles / 5 = x
x = 168 miles
Therefore, the truck could drive 168 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
