An elementary school teacher is trying to decide if she should take her students to the library or to the park. Her decision is based solely on how quickly they can get to their destination. Which location should she choose?

park because kids would be running to get to the park becuase ts fun.

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
