First, you need to create a unit rate.
The car travels 182 miles on 14 gallons of gas.
To create a unit rate, you would have to divide 14 by 182.
182 mi 13 mi
———— = ———-
14 gal 1 gal
Then, you would need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 8 because the question is asking how far the car can travel on 8 gallons of gas.
13 mi x 8 104 mi
——— = ————
1 gal x 8 8 gal
So, your answer is the car travels 104 miles on 8 gallons of gas.
