QUESTION 60-If your new car can travel 400 miles on eight gallons of gas, how far can it go with just one gallon?

Correct Incorrect 50 miles:To solve this ratio word problem, let's determine the ratio between the number of miles the car can travel and the number of gallons of gas it has in the tank: 400/8. Simplifying this ratio, we get 50/1. This simplified ratio is obtained by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 8.
