A car used 1/81 of a gallon of gas to drive 1/4 of a mile. At this rate, how many miles can the car travel using 1 gallon of gas? ??????????

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

1/81 gallon for 1/4 mile.

what do I need to multiply 1/81 with to get 1 gallon ?

it is simple, right ? i need to multiply it by 81 to get 1 gallon.

in order to keep the relationship (ratio) unchanged, I need to multiply the other part (1/4 mile) with the same factor :

1/4 × 81 = 81/4 = 80/4 + 1/4 = 20 1/4 miles

so, at this rate, that car can travel 20 1/4 miles using 1 gallon of gas.
