A car uses 8 gallons of gasoline to travel 290 miles. Juanita wants to take a trip that is 400 miles. What equation will she need to use to find out how much gas the trip will use?

To find this answer, you would need to find how many miles 1 gallon of gas will take them. To find this, you would do 290÷8=36.25. So with this information, you will be able to find out how much gas it would take to travel 400 miles. You would do 400÷36.25=11.03. 11.03 would be how many gallons of gas is used to travel 400 miles. Hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

you never say the total so we cant find the percentage used for petrol

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
