Question

michael drove 268 miles using 12 gallons of gas. at this rate, how many miles would he drive using 9 gallons of gas? miles

Explanation:

Step1: Find miles per gallon

First, calculate the miles per gallon by dividing total miles by total gallons. So, the rate is $\frac{268}{12}$ miles per gallon.

Step2: Calculate miles for 9 gallons

Multiply the miles per gallon rate by 9 gallons. So, the distance is $\frac{268}{12} \times 9$. Simplify this: $\frac{268 \times 9}{12} = \frac{268 \times 3}{4} = \frac{804}{4} = 201$.
