Dominick reads 7 pages a day and is on page 23. Catie reads 8 pages a day and is on page 15. Write and solve an equation to represent the situation. Let d represent the number of days. After how many days will they be on the same page? What page will they be on?

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

answer: x=60
