A man called his wife to tell her that they needed to switch vehicles so he could use the family van to pick up some building materials after work. The wife left their home, traveling toward his office in their van at 35 mph. At the same time, the husband left his office in his car, traveling toward their home at 45 mph. If his office is 20 miles from their home, how long will it take them to meet so they can switch vehicles?

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
