Sam can run 8 miles in 2 hours. At this rate, how far will he be in 9 hours.

I think 28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

you add 8 miles every 2 hours until you reach 9 hours and since 9 is an old number you add 4 instead.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
