36 the frostburg truth bus travels on a straight road from frostburg mall to sojourner truth park. the mall is 4 miles east and 4 miles north of the city center the park is 2 miles west and 4 miles south of the center. how far is it from the mall to the park to the nearest tenth of a mile?

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
