Answer 2

57miles--------->3gallons

1st we find the volume of gasoline required to travel 1 mile so we divide both sides of equation by 57 we get-
\[\frac{ 57 }{ 57 }miles-------->\frac{ 3 }{ 57 }gallons\]
\[1miles------>\frac{ 3 }{ 57 }gallons\]
now we need to find how much gallons are required to travel 133 miles
multiply bith sides of equation by 133
\[(1\times 133)miles---->\frac{ 3 }{ 57 }\times 133 gallons\]
so 133miles--->7gallons
