Answer:

8 gallons

Explanation:

First, you will need to find how many miles one gallon will take you. By dividing 138 by 6, you'll find that the car can go 23 miles with 1 gallon. Using this information, you can divide 184 by 23 to find how many gallons of gas Josiah will need.

184/23= 8 gallons of gas
