Martina drove 250 miles using 9 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would she need to drive 275 miles? gallons

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how many miles Martina drives per gallon of gas. We do this by dividing the total miles she drove (250 miles) by the total gallons of gas she used (9 gallons).

250 miles ÷ 9 gallons = approximately 27.78 miles per gallon

Next, we need to find out how many gallons of gas Martina would need to drive 275 miles. We do this by dividing the total miles she needs to drive (275 miles) by the miles she drives per gallon of gas (27.78 miles/gallon).

275 miles ÷ 27.78 miles/gallon = approximately 9.9 gallons

So, Martina would need approximately 9.9 gallons of gas to drive 275 miles.
