You can put this solution on YOUR website! if a person uses 7 gallons of gas to travel 132 miles.he has 5 gallons of gas how much more will he need to drive 200 miles.if we assume that the car continues to use gasoline at the same rate, how many more gallons will he need?
-----------------
Solve: x/200 = 7/132
---
x = 200(7/132)
x = 10.606 (gross amount he needs to drive 200 miles)
----
Since he has 5 gallons, he needs 10.606-5 = 5.606 gallons.
