To find out how many gallons it would take the truck to be able to drive 425 miles, you can set up a proportion.
Let x represent the number of gallons.
The proportion can be set up as:
34 miles/2 gallons = 425 miles/x gallons
To solve for x, you can cross multiply:
34x = 2 * 425
34x = 850
Divide both sides by 34 to isolate x:
x = 850/34
Simplifying the fraction:
x = 25
Therefore, it would take 25 gallons for the truck to be able to drive 425 miles.
