Answer:

The car will need 6 gallons of gasoline to travel 102 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the car travels 442 miles on 26 gallons of gasoline.

Because the more the distance, the more the volume of gasoline used, this is a direct proportion.

So, we have:


\begin{gathered} V=(102*26)/(442) \\ \\ =6 \end{gathered}

It will need 6 gallons.
