Lester's car can go 15.4 miles on 1 gallon of gas. How far can he go on 0.7 gallon?
Answer:
\(10.78\ miles\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Lester's car can go \(15.4\) miles on \(1\) gallon of gas
so
By proportion
Find how far can he go on \(10.7\) gallon
\(\frac{15.4}{1}\frac{miles}{gallon}=\frac{x}{0.7}\frac{miles}{gallon}\\ \\x=0.7*15.4\\ \\x=10.78\ miles\)
