In the walk-a-thon, Vernon walked 5.0 miles and Hillary walked 4.2 miles. Who walked further,
Vernon or Hillary?

Vermon

Step-by-step explanation:

Vermon walked further bc

 5.0

- 4.2

= 0.8

so vermon walked .8 of a mile further than hillary

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
