Answer:
11 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{16 gallons}{400 miles} =\frac{x}{275 m}[/tex]
So x is the number of miles. This is a ratio problem, so if we had a situation like 1:2, when 1 changes 2 will accordingly change. 2:4. And 1:2 = 2:4.
So now to solve the equation. Cross multiply 16 and 275 = 4400. Cross multiply 400 and x. You'll end up with an equation like 400x = 4400. Then solve and you'll get x = 11. Hope this helps!
