Answer 2

The amount of gallons of gas needed for his car is:

18.8125 gallons.

Explanation:

It is given that:

The distance that is to be traveled by William is: 602 miles.

The mileage that his car receives is: 32 mpg.

So, the amount of gallons of gas that his car will need is the ratio of the Distance traveled by him to the number of gallons that is required per mile.

Hence, the amount of gallons of gas that is needed is calculated as:

`Amount\ of\ gallons\ of\ gas=(602)/(32)\\\\Amount\ of\ gallons\ of\ gas=18.8125\ gallons`
