Question

Nathaniel's car used 10 gallons to travel 360 miles. How far can he travel on 16 gallons?

Answer 1

Answer:

16 gallons will get you 576 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We use ratios to solve this question

10 gallons : 360 miles

Divide both sides by 10 to find 1 gallon

1 gallon:36 miles

multiply both sides by 16

16 gallons : 576 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

576 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If Nathaniel's car uses 10 gallons to travel 360 miles, then the car can drive 36 miles per 1 gallon (360/10=36).

If he has 16 gallons and he can drive 36 miles per gallon, he can travel 576 miles (36*16=576).
