Wina drove 282 miles on 10 gallons of gas. At this same rate, how many miles could she drive on 12 gallons of gas?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's set this up a proportion (two equal ratios) to find out how many miles Wina can drive on 12 gallons gas.

What do we multiply the bottom 10 by to get to 12? Well, to find out, we can divide 12 by 10 below.

12÷10=1.2

This means that we multiply the numbers in the first fraction by 1.2 to have the same numerator and denominator as the second fraction.

If we multiplied our 10 b y 1.2 to get the denominator in the second fraction, we should be able to multiply 282 by 1.2 to get the numerator in the second fraction!

282×1.2=338.4

If you use 338.4 in this proportion, the ratios will be equal.

Therefore, Wina could drive 338.4 miles on 12 miles of gas at this same rate.

Have a wonderful day!

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
