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.
