A Chevy Malibu has a fuel capacity of 18.5 gallons. This vehicle averages 666 miles per tank. Assume the relationship between fuel capacity (volume) and distance is linear. How many miles can this vehicle travel with 5 gallons of gasoline?

180 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

capacity of tank= 18.5gallons

vehicle averages 666 miles per tank.

Hence, the vehicle can travel 666 miles on 18.5 gallons

Required

The distance covered on 5 gallons

Step two:

vehicle can travel 666 miles on 18.5 gallons

the vehicle will go x miles on 5 gallons

cross multiply we have

5*666= 18.5*x

3330=18.5x

divide both sides by 18.5

x= 3330/18.5

x=180 miles

dont think so
