If you drove 44 miles and used 2 gallons of gas how many gallons of gas would you use in 528 miles?
This is a two part problem. First, you must determine the number of miles you can travel on one gallon of gas if it takes two gallons to travel 44 miles. This can be solved by dividing the miles driven by the gallons used. In this problem that would be 44/2 or 22 miles per gallon.Next, if you can travel 22 miles on one gallon, you want to determine how many gallons would be required to travel 528 miles. This can be solved by dividing 528 by 22 or 528/22 which equals 24 gallons.
