Terrell wants to drive his car at a speed of 50 miles per hour for 2.75 hours. his car has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon. how many gallons of fuel does terrell need for his journey?

HI there! To find the number of gallons he needs for travel, the first step we need to do is find the number of miles he'll travel, by multiplying speed by time. 50 * 2.75 is 137.5. Terrell will travel 137.5 miles in 2.75 hours. There are 25 miles in a gallon. Now, let's divide the number by 25 to get the number of gallons. 137.5 / 25 = 5.5. There. Terrell will need 5.5 gallons of gas for his journey.

I’m confused this is what i’m doing in class but the question is confusing
