Use some thinking to answer the following question. The pilot of a small aircraft uses 60 gallons of fuel to fly 300 miles. At this rate, how many gallons of fuel are needed for a 700 mile flight?
Options:
(A) 140
(B) 155
(C) 160
(D) 170
(E) 175
Number of gallons of fuel per mile = 300 /60 = 5 gallons per mile
Number of gallons of fuel for a 700 mile flight = 700/5 = 140 So the final answer is (A).
