Jackson loves to take day trips during weekends. Last weekend, he drove 80 miles to Crabclaw Beach. He used 4 gallons of gas to get there. This weekend, he will drive 100 miles to get to Mount Highmore. If he uses gas at the same rate, how many gallons of gas will Jackson use to get to Mount Highmore?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

If:

80 miles = 4 gallons of gas

100 miles = x gallons of gas

Cross Multiply

80 × x = 100 × 4

x = 100 × 4/80

x = 5 gallons of gas

Therefore, Jackson would use 5 gallons of gas to get to Mount Highmore.
