Question 503164: Write an equation and solve. A car used 7 gallons of gasoline to go a distance of 210 miles. At that rate, how much gasoline would the car use to go 495 miles? Answer by Maths68(1474) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7gallons=210miles
Divide by 210 both sides
7/210 gallons = 210/210 miles
1/30 gallon =1 miles
Multiply by 495 both sides
495(1/30) gallon = 495 * 1 miles
495/30 gallon = 495 * 1 miles
16.5 gallon = 495 miles
