Rita drove 320 miles using 12 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would she need to drive 296 miles?

11.1 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Abdul drove 320 MILES using 12 GALLONS, how many gallons will he need to drive 296 MILES. This can be represented mathematically by;

320 miles=12 gallons

296 miles=x

  I replaced the unknown value with the letter x to make it easier to identify. Anyway, you need to cross and multiply. So 296 will multiply 12 and 320 will multiply x.

     296 multiplied by 12 is 3552 and 320 multiplied by x is 320x. So;

3552=320x

 Divide the both sides by 320 to reveal the value of x. 320 divided by 320 is x. And 3552 divided by 320 is 11.1. So;

x=11.1 gallons of gas

11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

CROSS multiple

320/ 12 =  296 / x

x= 11.1

answer: b.36 feet
