<PRE><B>Question 617276</B>
A particular hybrid car travels approximately 123 mi on 3 gal of gas. Find the amount of gas required for A 574-mi trip.
-------
Use a proportion:
gallons/distance = gallons/distance
------------------------------
x/574 = 3/123
x = (574)(3/123) = 14 gallons
================
