Question

writing anns car can go 148 miles on 4 gallons of gas. during a drive last weekend, ann used 3 gallons of gas. how far did she drive? use pencil and paper. explain how the problem changes if you were given the distance ann drove last weekend instead of how much gas she used. she drove \\(\square\\) miles.

Explanation:

Step1: Find miles per gallon

First, find how many miles Ann's car can go per gallon. We know it goes 148 miles on 4 gallons, so we calculate the unit rate (miles per gallon) by dividing total miles by total gallons.
$\text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{148}{4}$
$148 \div 4 = 37$ miles per gallon.

Step2: Calculate miles for 3 gallons

Now, to find how many miles she drove using 3 gallons, we multiply the miles per gallon by the number of gallons used (3 gallons).
$\text{Total miles} = 37 \times 3$
$37 \times 3 = 111$

Answer:

111
