Note: enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. mrs. walters drove 160 miles on 5 gallons of gas. how many gallons of gas will she need to travel 256 miles?

Mrs.Walters will need 8 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you should find how much miles she can travel with one gallon of gas, so it will be easier. In order to do that you will have to do

160 / 5 and you will get 32.

That shows how much miles she can travel with one gallon of gas.

To figure out how much gas is needed for 256 miles you have to do:

256 / 32 which is 8

You divide because with one gallon of gas you can travel 32 miles.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
