You can put this solution on YOUR website! A car traveling 50 miles per hour uses 1 gallon of gas to drive 32.5 miles. How many minutes will it take the car to use 6 gallons gas?
----------------
Use a proportion::
--------
time/gallons = time/gallons
--------
t/6 galls = (32.5/50)/1 gall
-----
t/6 = 0.65 hr/1
----
Note:: 0.65 hr = 0.65*60 = 39 min
-----
time/6 = 39 min
-----
time = 6*39 = 234 minutes
