Answer:
The answer to your question is 1.875 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
distance = 50 mi
volume of gas = 1 gal
volume for 150 km = ?
Process
1.- Convert 50 mi into kilometers
1 mile ------------------- 1.6 km
x ------------------ 150 km
x = (150 x 1)/1.6
x = 93.75 mi
2.- Calculate the gallons wasted
1 gallon ----------------- 50 mi
x ---------------- 93.75 mi
x = (93.75 x 1)/50
x = 93.75/50
x = 1.875 gallons
