Answer: Hence, there is 5 gallons of fuel Roselyn needed for her journey.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed at which Roselyn wants to drive her car = 60 miles per hour

Time taken by her car = 1.5 hours

As we know the formula for "Distance-Speed " :


Distance=Speed* Time\\\\Distance=60* 1.25\\\\Distance=75\ miles

Her car has fuel efficiency = 15 miles per gallon

Number of gallons of fuel is given by


(75)/(15)\\\\=5\ gallons

Hence, there is 5 gallons of fuel Roselyn needed for her journey.

1.25 hours = 75 miles = 1/4 of 60 is 15 (of the 1.25)
75/15 (miles per gallon)
