A truck needs 7 gallons of fuel to travel 56 miles. Can the truck travel 48 miles with 6 gallons of fuel? Explain.
A:No; 7/56 and 48/6 are not proportional because 7 × 6 does not equal 48 × 56. .
B:Yes; 7/56 and 48/6 are proportional because 7 × 6 = 48 × 56.
C:No; 7/56 and 6/48 are not proportional because 7 × 48 does not equal6 × 56.
D:Yes; 7/56 and 6/48 are proportional because 7 × 48 = 6 × 56 .

Thanks! :)
To answer this question, you need to determine if the ratios involving gallons of fuel to miles traveled are proportional in both cases. The given information states that the truck needs 7 gallons of fuel to travel 56 miles.
To check if the truck can travel 48 miles with 6 gallons of fuel, you can set up a proportion:
7 gallons / 56 miles = 6 gallons / 48 miles
If this proportion is true, then the truck can travel 48 miles with 6 gallons of fuel.
Now, let's check the answer choices:
A: This answer states that 7/56 and 48/6 are not proportional because 7 × 6 does not equal 48 × 56. This is correct. In fact, 7 × 6 equals 42, while 48 × 56 equals 2688. Therefore, this answer is correct.
B: This answer states that 7/56 and 48/6 are proportional because 7 × 6 equals 48 × 56. However, as discussed above, this statement is incorrect.
C: This answer states that 7/56 and 6/48 are not proportional because 7 × 48 does not equal 6 × 56. This is incorrect because 7 × 48 equals 336 and 6 × 56 equals 336. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: This answer states that 7/56 and 6/48 are proportional because 7 × 48 equals 6 × 56. However, as discussed above, this statement is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: No; 7/56 and 48/6 are not proportional because 7 × 6 does not equal 48 × 56.
56/7 = 8
48/6 = ?
