Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 800 miles = 30 gallons
Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 1 mile =
= 30 ÷ 800
= 0.0375 gallons
So , to run 1 mile a car would need = 0.0375 gallons of oil
To run 700 miles the quantity of gasoline needed =
= 700 × 0.0375
= 26.25 gallons of gasoline
Therefore , a car will use 26.25 gallons of gasoline on a trip of 700 miles .
Answer: 26.25
Step-by-step explanation; let X represent the unknown
If 30=800
X=700
Cross multiply
=> 800X = 30 × 700
=> X = (21000)/800
=> X=26.25
