We have an algebra problem.
We will find that Hank's pickup needs 2 gallons of gas to travel 30 miles.
The information given is:
The pickup can travel 45 miles on 3 gallons of gas.
To find the number of miles that the pickup can travel per gallon of gas, we need to find the quotient between the amount that he travels (45 miles) and the amount of gas that he uses (3 gallons)
This is:
r = (45 miles)/(3 gallons) = 15 miles/gallon.
Now that we know this, the number of gallons needed to travel 30 miles is given by:
N = (30 miles)/(15 miles/gallon) = 2 gallons.
N = 2 gallons.
The pickup needs 2 gallons to travel 30 miles.
