Responses
A. 12.5
B. 68
C. 17
D. 25
To find the number of gallons it would take for the truck to drive 425 miles, we can set up a proportion:
34 miles / 2 gallons = 425 miles / x gallons
Cross multiplying, we get:
34x = 850
Dividing both sides by 34, we find:
x = 25
Therefore, it would take 25 gallons for the truck to be able to drive 425 miles.
The correct answer is D. 25.
