Answer 1

Answer:

She will need 7 tanks of gas. It will cost $273.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we divide the amount of miles that she needs to go by the amount she can drive on one tank.

2240/320 = 7

She will need 7 tanks. Multiply the cost of one tank by 7.

$39*7 = $273

It will cost $273 total.
