theprince12:

Melissa’s family is driving out of state to her grandmother’s house. They know that it takes 20 gallons of gas to get there, and the cost of three gallons of gasoline is $10.50. How much should the family budget to make the one-way trip?

mxddi3:

Ok so to begin, it says that it's $10.50 for 3 gallons, so we need to find out how much for one gallon. We do this by doing 10.50/3. Can you start by doing that for me ?

theprince12:

yeah

Astrid1:

You can set up a proportion, where x = the amount of money they need for the trip (20 gallons/x) = (3 gallons/$10.50) is one possible setup, solve for x. Was answered here: https://questioncove.com/updates/5f602aa52d8a7161fc615800

theprince12:

thanks you so much😊😊

mxddi3:

Please no direct answers. Now, do what i said there \[\frac{ 10.50 }{ 3 }\] then take that ad times by 20
