When distances are proportions of others, we can express all of them as relative fractions until we reach some known distance and solve for the desired length

Let's call x the length of AD. Given C is the midpoint of AD, then

$\displaystyle AC=CD=\frac{x}{2}$

Given B is the midpoint of AC, then

$\displaystyle AB=BC=\frac{AC}{2}=\frac{x}{4}$

If we know BC=8 feet

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{4}=8\ feet$

$\displaystyle x=32\ feet$

The length of AD is 32 feet

Answer: 7.25 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 13¹/₂ to a whole number with a decimal:

= 1/2 = 0.5

= 13.5 gallons of gas

If the gas reduces by 6.25 gallons, the amount of gas remaining will be:

= Starting amount - Amount reduced by

= 13.5 - 6.25

= 7.25 gallons
