A truck can drive 34 miles on 2 gallons of gas. How many gallons would it take the truck to be able to drive 425 miles? (1 point)
To find 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 needed.
The proportion can be set up as:
2 gallons / 34 miles = x gallons / 425 miles
Cross multiplying gives:
2 * 425 = 34 * x
850 = 34 * x
Dividing both sides by 34 gives:
x = 850 / 34
x ≈ 25
Therefore, it would take approximately 25 gallons for the truck to be able to drive 425 miles.
