Certain vehicle can travel 480 miles and 14 gallons of gasoline to tell me how many gallons of gasoline is your goal I need to travel 600 miles round to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

14/480 = G/600

14/48 = G/60

14/8 = G/10

14/4 = G/5

7/2 = G/5

2G = 35

G = 17.5 gallons to go 600 miles

600 is 25% more than 480

so, you need 25% more gallons than 14.

14+ 14/4 = 14+ 3.5 = 17.5 gallons
