🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel consumption is proportional to distance when speed and conditions remain the same • Set up a ratio (proportion) between miles steamed and tons of fuel used • Keep units consistent: miles with miles, tons with tons

💭 Think About

• If 34 tons are used for 300 miles, how many tons would be used for 1 mile? • Once you know tons per mile, how can you scale that up to 700 miles? • Alternatively, can you set up a proportion of the form 300 miles : 34 tons = 700 miles : X tons and solve for X?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you divide fuel by distance to get tons per mile, not the other way around • After you calculate the fuel for 700 miles, compare it to 34 tons — should it be more or less, and by about what factor? • Double-check your arithmetic, especially multiplication and division, before matching to the nearest choice.
