Paula Gray · Answer 1

You would first put the question into an equation.

Miles would equal to gallons.

198=11a

You will simplify it to 1a and to get that you divide both sides by 11.

That would get 18=1a or 18=a

You would then multiply both sides then by 6 on both sides to see if 6 gallons would actually be the same as 138 miles.

Mulitply 6 and 18 and you get 108 which is different from 138 and would not be correct. They do not equal the same and so the answer would be no.
