Mr. Hamstra’s car holds 14/25 gallons of gas and averages 20 miles per gallon. About how far can Mr. Hamstra travel when his tank is 14 full?

Sagot :

to find the answer we first have to find the ratio... for each gallon, the car goes 20 miles:
1:20
now we just have to find how far the car will go for 14 gallons. the ratio would be:
14:x
the ratio is 14 times larger than the original. to find the answer simply multiply 14 by 20:
14:280

the answer is 280 miles
