Given that a new fuel-efficient cars can drive 55 miles per gallon, how far can a car drive with nine gallons?



6.11 miles


455 miles


495 miles


540 miles



I think it is C, correct?

Respuesta :

Set this up as a proportion with miles on the top and gallons on the bottom. [tex] \frac{m}{g}: \frac{55}{1}= \frac{x}{9} [/tex].  Cross multiply to get that the car can go 495 miles on 9 gallons of gas.
