Answer:

29 gallons.

Explanation:

For every gallon, a total number of 468/18 miles = 26 miles could be travelled.

And hence, to travel 754 miles, a total of 754/26 gallons = 29 gallons would be needed.

Hope this helped!

It would take 29 gallons of gas because when you divide 468/18=26 and then you would divide 754/26=29.
