A motorcycle can go 50 miles on 1 gallon of gas. How many gallons will be used to go 150 km? I mile is about 1.6 km. Round to the nearest gallon.

1.875 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

distance = 50 mi

volume of gas = 1 gal

volume for 150 km = ?

Process

1.- Convert 50 mi into kilometers

                        1 mile 1.6 km

                         x         150 km

                         x = (150 x 1)/1.6

                         x = 93.75 mi

2.- Calculate the gallons wasted

                         1 gallon 50 mi

                         x             93.75 mi

                         x = (93.75 x 1)/50

                         x = 93.75/50

                        x = 1.875 gallons
