To find 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:
5x = 120 * 7
5x = 840
Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
x = 840 / 5
x = 168
Therefore, the truck could drive 168 miles with 7 gallons of gasoline.
