Answer: 175 gallons of fuel

Explanation:

Quantity of fuel to fly = 80 gallons

Distance travelled using 80 gallons of fuel = 320 miles

Therefore, distance travelled by the flight in 1 gallon of fuel = 320 / 80

= 4 miles/gallon

Now, Quantity of fuel needed for a 700 mile flight = 700 / 4

= 175 gallons

Therefore, 175 gallons of fuel is needed for a 700 mile flight.
