Hello!

First you have to find how far the car goes with 1 gallon of gas

To find this you do 150/12

150/12 = 12.5

The car goes 12.5 miles for 1 gallon of gas

Next you do how far the car needs to go divided by how far it goes on 1 gallon of gas

500/12.5 = 40

The car needs 40 gallons to travel 500 miles

The answer is 40

Hope this helps!
