a truck uses 8L of gas to go 120 kkkm. how much gas does it use to go 300km?
8 * 300/120 = 20
I'm assuming "kkkm" was a typo
could you do it like 8/120*300?
To think of it logically, the proportions remain the same.
8/120 = X/300
Then X = 8/120 * 300
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
Yes, you can certainly use the proportion method to solve this problem. The proportion method is a useful strategy for solving problems related to ratios and proportions.
In this case, you can set up a proportion using the information given:
8 liters / 120 km = X liters / 300 km
To solve for X, you can cross-multiply and solve for X:
120X = 8 * 300
Then, divide both sides of the equation by 120 to solve for X:
X = (8 * 300) / 120
Simplifying the equation gives:
X = 20
So, the truck would use 20 liters of gas to travel 300 km.
