Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A car uses 15 gallons of gas in its tank. This means the capacity of the tank is 15 gallons.
The car travels 35 miles per gallon of gas.
If the car travels 35 miles per gallon of gas, then
It uses 1/35 of a gallon of gas to go 1 mile. Let x be the amount of gas in gallons that the car would use to travel 100 miles. The amount of gas that the car will use to travel 100 miles will be
If 1 mile requires 1/35 gallons
100 miles will require x gallons
x = 1/35 × 100 = 2.86 gallons of gas
