a car traveled 180 miles and used 6 gallons of gas if the same car traveled 1260 miles under similar conditions how many gallons of gas would be used

Question

Math word problem 

Answer 1

Amount of gas consumed (G) = Amount of gas per miles (g) x miles traveled (m)

 6 = g x 180

g 6/180 gallon

 

If m = 1260 and g is same as road conditions are same

G = 6/180 x 1260 = 42 gallon

Answer 2

The car traveled 180 miles on 6 gallons of gas, so it got 30 miles per gallon.

 

So divide 1260 by 30 to find the number of gallons needed to go 1260 miles.

 

The answer is 42 gallons.

 

Answer 3

180 mile/ 6 gallon = 30 ml/gal

1260 mile/ 30 ml/gal = 42 gallon
