Hi There! :)

A top fuel dragster can use a s much as 6 gallons in 4seconds to travelmile. At this rate, how many gallonsof fuel will it take for the dragster to go 1mile?

6 gallons in 4 1/2 seconds to travel 1/4 mile
Multiply through by 4

The dragster will :
use 24 gallons in 18 seconds to travel 1 mile.
Hope this helps.
