First i did the same way. But i tried the other way also.
like in 5 hrs with 50 miles per hour the car has gone 250 miles.then it takes 1 gallon per 30 miles, so for 250 miles it must have taken 8 gallons (8*30= 240 miles). So its has used 8 gallons out of 12 gallons. thus the ratio is 8/12 = 2/3.
What am i doing wrong... ???
I am not diebeatsthegmat,
But i can give a try,
As you said car is traveling for 250 miles but then you calculate for 240 miles
infect it will be 8.33/12
Then it will come as 25/ 36
I did this way as well.
