To answer the question, use the concept of ratio and proportion. Haley's given mileage should be equal all throughout. Let x be the minimum number of gallons that Haley needs, the proportion becomes,
18 miles / 1 gallon = 200 miles / x gallons
The value of x is 11.11 gallons. Thus, Haley need at least 11.11 gallons.
18 miles / 1 gallon = 200 miles / x gallons
The value of x is 11.11 gallons. Thus, Haley need at least 11.11 gallons.
Answer:
[tex]11\ gallons[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Haley's car gets at least [tex]18[/tex] miles per gallon
so
by proportion
Find the minimum number of gallons she'll need for a trip that is [tex]200[/tex] miles
[tex]\frac{1}{18}\frac{gallon}{miles} =\frac{x}{200}\frac{gallon}{miles}\\ \\x=200/18\\ \\x= 11.11\ gallons[/tex]
