Question

PLEASE HELP!! IM TIMED!!

On a road trip, Marcus reads a highway sign that says he is 200 miles from Atlanta. He then looks at his gas gauge, which reads a little over half full.


His gas tank holds 10 gallons and his car gets 32 miles per gallon at his current speed of 65 miles per hour. If he maintains this speed, will he make it to Atlanta without having to stop and get gas?
