Aboater travels 532 miles. assuming the boat averages 63 miles per gallon, how
many gallons of gasoline (to the nearest tenth of a gallon) were used?

8.4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a boater traveled 532 miles and we want to know how much gas he used for this trip.

We are also given if he travels 63 miles then has used 1 gallon.

532 miles ->x gallons

63 miles   ->1  gallon

The information here is lined up for you already.

We have from the line, this proportion:

x/1=x so we have:

So approximately 8.4 gallons was used on this trip of 532 miles.

8.4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

A boater travels 532 miles. Assuming the boat averages 63 miles per gallon, there are 8.4 gallons of gasoline that were used.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
