🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel consumption is proportional to distance when speed and fuel rate stay the same • Use a simple ratio: miles steamed vs. tons of fuel used • Set up a proportion to find tons for 350 miles based on known data for 150 miles

💭 Think About

• First, how many tons of fuel are used per mile at the given condition? • Once you know tons per mile, how do you use that to find tons for 350 miles? • Alternatively, what single fraction can you set up comparing 150 miles : 17 tons to 350 miles : X tons?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure to compute fuel per mile correctly from the original data • Apply the same rate to the new distance of 350 miles only once (avoid doubling a step) • After calculating X, compare it carefully with the closest matching choice in the list
