distance of 430 miles, we'll have to use the rule of three.
15
gallons...........................300 miles
x
gallons..............................430 miles
We'll cross
multiply:
x*300 = 15*430
x =
15*430/300
x = 15*43/30
x
=43/2
x = 21.5 gallons
Therefore,
the car needs 21.5 gallons to travel 430 miles.
