The van will need 25 gallons of gas for it to travel 550 miles. This is calculated by dividing 10 gallons to 220 miles to get the miles per gallons, which in this case is 22 miles per gallon. Then we have to divide 550 miles by 22 miles per gallon to get the total gas consumption, which is 25 gallons.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many gallons the van needs to travel 550 miles you should multiply the number of miles by the relationship between the number of gallons of gas it needs to travel 220 miles, (it is important to put the quantity in miles on the denominator) as follows:

\(550miles*\frac{10gallons}{220miles}=25\)

Therefore the van needs 25 gallons of gas to travel 550 miles
