Answer 1

Answer:

187.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion

$\frac{16 miles}{1 gallon}$ = $\frac{3000 miles}{x}$

3000/16 = 187.5, so multiply 1 by 187.5 to find the gallons used in a year

This gets you 187.5 gallons used in a year

Answer 2

Answer:

1875 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

He travels 30000 miles per year, and each gallon lets him travel 16 miles. Divide 30000 by 16 to get the amount of gas he uses in a year, which amounts to 1875 gallons of gas.
