Asked by Marinav

Answer (3)

There are few ways to count it. One of them is:
400 miles on 15-gallon tank 400 / 15 = 26,66666666666667 miles per 1 gallon (looks weirdly but we'll get a nice result in a second) So 26,66666666666667 * 6 gallons = 160 miles
Answer: Landon's SUV can travel 160 miles on 6 gallons.

we know that
by proportion
15 400 ​ g a ll o n s mi l es ​ = 6 x ​ g a ll o n s mi l es ​ 15 ∗ x = 6 ∗ 400 x = ( 6 ∗ 400 ) /15 x = 160 mi l es
therefore
the answer is
160 mi l es
