Answer:  [tex]12\ gallons[/tex]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Figure out how many miles the car can go with one gallon of gasolline

162 ÷ 9 = 18

1 gallon = 18 miles

2. Figure out how many times 18 can go into 216

216 ÷ 18 = 12

12 gallons = 216 miles

*We do this because we know that every time the car drives 18 miles its uses another gallon of gas.

The car will use 12 gallons of gasoline to travel 216 miles.
