Isabel can drive 505.85 miles with a gas tank that holds 15.1 gallons of gas
Solution:
Given that, Isabel’s car gets 33.5 miles per gallon
Her gas tank holds 15.1 gallons of gas
To find: Number of miles can Isabel drive on a full tank of gas
Let "x" be the miles drive with 15.1 gallons of gas
From given,
1 gallon = 33.5 miles
15.1 gallon = x miles
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying
[tex]1 \times x = 15.1 \times 33.5\\\\x = 505.85[/tex]
Thus Isabel can drive 505.85 miles on a full tank of gas
