Answer:

Explanation:

The capacity of the tank of the car is 15 gallons of gas.

The car travels 35 miles per gallon of gas. Therefore, the distance which the car can travel with 15 gallons would be

35 × 15 = 525 miles

it use 1/35 of gas to 1 mile. Therefore, the number of gallons of gas that the car will use to travel 100 miles would be

1/35 × 100 = 2.88 gallons.
