Answer: The answer is 161

Step-by-step explanation: First you write 5 and 115 as a proportion, 5/115, (for every 5 gallons you can go 115 miles). Then you find out how much you can go with 1 gallon, divide by 5. Then multiply that by 7, since that is how many gallons you need to find out.

Hope this is helpful!
