Given the statement:

A salesman traveled 736 miles on 32 gallons of gas.

Determine how far can be traveled on 128 gallons of gas.

Solution:

In order to determine how far can be traveled, we simply needed to divide first 128 by 32.

= 128/32
= 4

Now we multiply 4 by 736 miles.

= (4)(736)

= 2,944 miles

Final answer:

= 2,944 miles
