Answer 2

Answer:

29 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacks car used 18 gallons of gasoline to go 468 miles.

we have to calculate the amount of gasoline would be used to go 754 miles.

∵ 18 gallons of gasoline were used to travel = 468 miles

∴ 1 gallon of gasoline were used to travel = $\frac{468}{18}$

                                                                                       = 26 miles

∴ to cover the distance of 754 miles gasoline would be used = $\frac{754}{26}$

                     = 29 gallons of gasoline

29 gallons of gasoline would be used to go 754 miles.
