Answer 1

Answer: $31.08

135/5.4=300/x

x=(300/135)/5.4

x=2.2x5.4=12gallons

12x$2.59=$31.08

Answer 2

She can expect $31.08 money for her upcoming 300-mile road trip.

Explanation:

Given:

Kasha drove 135 miles for 5.4 gallons of gas.

For 300 mile road trip, kasha needs 'X' gallons of gas.

To find X,

Rate= miles/gas

135/5.4= 300/X

X= (300/135)/5.4

X= 2.2*5.4= 12 gallons

The cost per gallon= $2.59

The cost for 12 gallons= 12*2.59$= $31.08
