Question

Josiah traveled 196 miles on 8 gallons of gasoline. At this rate, how many gallons of gasoline would he need to travel 343 miles?

Answer 1

First figure out the ratio for 196 and 343
Then use the same ratio to get the number of gallons of gasoline would be needed to travel 343 miles.

\[\frac{ 196 }{ 343 }=\frac{ 8 }{ x}\]
solve for x, which is 14
