Answer:

Hank's pickup need 3 gallons of gas to travel 54 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hank's pickup can travel 72 miles on 4 gallons of gas

Miles travel by Hank's pickup with 1 gallon of gas = 72/4 = 18 miles.

We need to find gallons of gas required for Hank's pickup to travel 54 miles.

Gallons of gas required = Miles need to travel/ Miles travel with 1 gallon of gas

= 54/18 = 3 gallons of gas.

So Hank's pickup need 3 gallons of gas to travel 54 miles.
