this is just a matter of proportion using 1 gallon you can travel 22 miles using 2 gallons you can travel 22 * 2 miles So how many miles using 25 gallons?

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

110 Gallons, @welshfella

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

Miles**

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No - 22*25 is not 110

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

550

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for every gallon used you travel 22 miles so total distance for 25 gallons is 22 * 25

OpenStudy (cicilybailey14):

Got it

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes
