Dale's car uses one quart of oil for every four tanks of gas. the car averages 28 miles per gallon and has a fuel capacity of 17 gallons. at this rate, how many gallons of oil will dale use in the next 100,000 miles? a. 3.38 gallons b. 13.13 gallons c. 52.52 gallons d. 210.08 gallons

Dale will use 13.125 gallons

in the next 100,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Dale's car uses one quart of oil for every four tanks of gas.

I quart = 0.25 gallon

Therefore,

Dale's car uses 0.25 gallon of oil for every four tanks of gas.

The car averages 28 miles per gallon and has a fuel capacity of 17 gallons. This means that 1 tank is 17 gallons.

In the next 100000 miles

If 28 miles = 1 gallon of fuel,

100000 miles will require 100000/28 = 3571.43 gallons

Number of tanks in 3571.43 will be

3571.43/17 = 210.1 tanks

The car uses 0.25 gallon of oil for 4 tanks, then

The car will use x gallons for 210. 1 tanks.

x =( 210×0.25)/4 = 13.125 gallons
