A boat can travel 140 kilometers on 35 liters of gasoline. How much gasoline will
it need to go 432 kilometers?

Given parameters:

Distance  = 140km

 Volume of gasoline  = 35liters

Unknown:

Volume of gasoline needed for 432km  = ?

Solution:

Let us first find the rate of gasoline consumption per mile. Using this value, we can then determine the volume of gasoline used for the distance given.

  Rate of gasoline consumption by the boat =

                                                    =  

                                                    = 0.25liters/km

Now, the volume of gasoline needed for 432km;

   Volume of gasoline needed  = rate of gasoline consumption x distance

                                                    = 0.25 x 432

                                                    = 108liters of gasoline
