The amount of gas consumed by a car varies directly with the miles driven. The car traveled 180 miles and used 6 gallons of gas. If the car traveled 1,,260 miles, how many gallons of gas would be used?
A 7 gallon
B 30 gallon
C 42 gallon
D 210 gallon

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
