CPM Homework Help : MC2 Problem 6-8

If you can travel $156$ miles on $4$ gallons of gasoline, how far can you travel on $12$ gallons? How many miles on $6$ gallons? A diagram may help you with your reasoning. Show your work and explain your thinking.

Hint:

Since each gallon of gasoline gives the same amount of mileage, we can use a common ratio for the miles per gallon.

More Help:

The ratio between $4$ and $12$ gallons is $3$ so this ratio also translates to the mileage.

Answer:

$468$ miles. Use this same strategy to figure out the mileage for $6$ gallons.
