Answer:

14.5*29=420.5 miles for a full 14.5-gallon tank.

7.25-gallons is what is left in a half tank.

105.125 miles can be driven on a quarter tank.

if the low milage alert comes on at 50 miles left they have 1/9 of the tank left with gas.

if the low milage alert comes on at 50 miles left he was 1.724 gallons of gas left.

It would cost $30.28 to get the tank back to a full 14.5 gallons.

Explanation:

It was mostly basics knowing that 29 miles per gallon and then its just plug in til it fits.
