Answer:
2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
At this speed, the car uses 1 gallon of fuel for a distance of 25 miles.
We need the number of miles the car travels in 75 minutes to find the amount of fuel it uses.
75 minutes * (1 hour)/(60 minutes) = 1.25 hours
speed = distance/time
distance = speed * time
distance = 40 miles/hour * 1.25 hours = 50 miles
In 75 minutes, at 40 mph, the car travels 50 miles.
(1 gal)/(25 miles) = x/(50 miles)
x = 2 gal
Answer: 2 gallons
