Help Plz!! The Mendez family used 12 gallons of gasoline on a 300-mile trip. At that rate, how far would they go on 9 gallons of gasoline?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Just divide 300 / 12. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 25?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Right, so that means they go 25 miles in one gallon.

OpenStudy (igreen):

We have to find out how many miles they go in 9 miles. So we multiply 9 \(\times\) 25.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

225?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, that's correct.
