Answer:

d) [tex]105.7\ \text{gallons}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]150\ \text{miles}[/tex] requires [tex]45.3\ \text{gallons of fuel}[/tex]

[tex]1\ \text{mile}[/tex] requires [tex]\dfrac{45.3}{150}\ \text{gallons of fuel}[/tex]

[tex]200\ \text{miles}[/tex] requires [tex]200\times \dfrac{45.3}{150}=60.4\ \text{gallons of fuel}[/tex]

So, total amount of gasoline required for the trip is [tex]60.4+45.3=105.7\ \text{gallons}[/tex].
