Jack's car used 11 gallons to travel 264 miles. How many gallons of gas would he need to travel 48 miles?
To find the number of gallons of gas Jack would need to travel 48 miles, we can set up a proportion:
11 gallons / 264 miles = x gallons / 48 miles
Cross-multiplying to solve for x:
264x = 11 * 48
264x = 528
x = 528 / 264
x = 2
Therefore, Jack would need 2 gallons of gas to travel 48 miles.
