Step 1a

Given that the car can travel 38 miles on 5 gallons of gasoline, you can calculate the mileage per gallon by dividing the number of miles by the number of gallons:

Mileage per gallon = \$(38 "miles") / (5 "gallons")\$ = 7.6 miles per gallon

Now, you want to find out how many miles you can travel with a 26-gallon gas tank:

Miles with a full tank = \$7.6 ("miles per gallon") \times (26 "gallons") \$ = 197.6 miles

Explanation: Here, we found the number of miles the car can travel with 26 gallon gas tank, which is 197.6 miles.

Step 1b

Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, you can convert the distance to quarts by multiplying by 4:

Miles in quarts = \$197.6 ("miles") \times (4 "quarts")/("gallon")\$ = 790.4 quarts

So, you can travel approximately 790.4 quarts before running out of gas with a full 26-gallon gas tank.

Explanation: Here, we have converted miles to quarts which is 790.4 quarts.
