do you divide
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Use proportions
2 Gallons / 300 Mile trip
\[ \frac{ 12 ~Gallons}{300 ~ Miles}=\frac{9 ~Gallons}{x ~Miles}\]
\[\frac{12}{300}=\frac{9}{x}\]
Cross multiply and solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12*x=9(300)
12x=2700
Now divide 12 from both sides
and we get x=225
OpenStudy (samara8954):
so the answer is 25

225
