Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how many miles Latoya can drive per gallon of gas. We do this by dividing the total miles she drove (246 miles) by the total gallons of gas she used (9 gallons).

So, 246 miles ÷ 9 gallons = 27.33 miles/gallon.

This means that Latoya can drive approximately 27.33 miles for every gallon of gas.

Next, we need to find out how many gallons of gas she would need to drive 410 miles. We do this by dividing the total miles she needs to drive (410 miles) by the number of miles she can drive per gallon of gas (27.33 miles/gallon).

So, 410 miles ÷ 27.33 miles/gallon = 15 gallons.

Therefore, Latoya would need approximately 15 gallons of gas to drive 410 miles.
