Question 750996: The distance from Dayton to Indianapolis is 120 miles and it is 180 miles from Indianapolis to Chicago. If a car needs 4 gallons of gasoline to drive from Dayton to Indianapolis, how many gallons of gasoline will it need to drive to Chicago from Dayton? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the car requires 4 gallons of gas to drive 120 miles
This equates to 1 gallon every 30 miles.
The distance from Dayton to Chicago is 300 miles
Therefore the car will require 10 gallons of gas.
300/30 = 10.
Hope this helps
:-)
