The ratio of fuel used in gallons to the distance covered in miles by Haley's car is 4:7. If Haley's car used 44 gallons of gas, calculate the distance it covered in miles. Give me reasons, before answering the question
The total ratio representing fuel consumption and distance traveled is 4 + 7 = 11. If 4 / 11, which is the fraction representing fuel consumption, represents 22 gallons of gas, then 7 / 11 representing distance covered represents 7 / 11 * 44 * 11 / 4 = 77 miles. So the final answer is 77.
