Amelia's car used 16 gallons to travel 656 miles. How many gallons of gas would she need to travel 533 miles?

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how many miles Amelia's car can travel per gallon of gas. We do this by dividing the total miles she traveled (656 miles) by the total gallons of gas used (16 gallons).

Step 1: 656 miles ÷ 16 gallons = 41 miles/gallon

This means Amelia's car can travel 41 miles per gallon of gas.

Next, we need to find out how many gallons of gas she would need to travel 533 miles. We do this by dividing the total miles she needs to travel (533 miles) by the miles per gallon her car can travel (41 miles/gallon).

Step 2: 533 miles ÷ 41 miles/gallon = 13 gallons

So, Amelia would need approximately 13 gallons of gas to travel 533 miles.
