Distance= Rate * time

First you need to find the total distance that the car traveled.

Distance= 50 * 5= 250

Now you can setup a ratio

1 gallon/ 30 miles = x gallons/ 250 miles

x=25/3…..this is the number of gallons used on the trip

you need to find the amt of gasoline/ full tank of gasoline…

so (25/3)/ 12…..this equals 25/36

this problem is testing if you know ratios and rate formula…
hope this helps! Also remember to break up the information into pieces so you’re not too confused!
