A car can travel 75 miles on 4 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas is needed to travel 300 miles? State your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the following proportion

75 miles / 4 gallons = 300 miles / x      Cross multiply

75x = 4 * 300

75x = 1200                                             Divide by 75

x = 1200/75

x = 16 gallons
