To determine how far the car can travel on 25 gallons of gas, we first need to find out how many miles the car can travel per gallon. We do this by dividing the total miles traveled by the total gallons used.
Given that the car travels 340 miles on 20 gallons of gas, we can calculate the miles per gallon (MPG) as follows:
Miles per gallon (MPG) = Total miles traveled / Total gallons used
MPG = 340 miles / 20 gallons = 17 miles per gallon
This means the car can travel 17 miles for every gallon of gas it uses.
Next, to find out how far the car can travel on 25 gallons of gas, we multiply the MPG by the number of gallons:
Distance = Miles per gallon × Gallons
Distance = 17 miles per gallon × 25 gallons = 425 miles
Therefore, if the car travels 340 miles on 20 gallons of gas, it can travel 425 miles on 25 gallons of gas.
