60 / 5 = 12 miles per gallon
36 miles = 12 miles / gal * x gallons
divide by 12
36/12 =x gallons
3 =x
He needs 3 gallons

Answer:
(c) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph shows the zeros are -5, -3, 0, 2. Of these, only 2 is on your list.
2 is a zero of the expression
The y intercept is 2, because that is the value of y when it crosses the y axis.
Since the line is pointing down, it has a negative slope, and since the y value goes down 2 for every 3 x values, the slope is -2/3. You should always right the slope in rise/run form, or change in y/change in x.
Finally, write the equation in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. This means the equation of the line is y=-2/3x+2.
So the initial question is x / 113 = 3.14 (we're keeping it a smaller decimal for now)
What you should do first is multiply both sides by 113
Your answer should be x = 354.82
Round this up to x = 355. <-- This is why we only used 3.14 at the start
Now check your work:
x / 113 = ?
355 / 113 = 3.14159265358979... which essentially is pi
Answer is 17.647 or if rounded 18
