depends on the amount of gas

Answer 1

A vehicle has a 20-gal tank and gets 15 mpg. The number of miles N that can be driven depends on the amount of gas 

Write a formula that models this situation.

Capacity of the tank is 20- gal

Mileage is 15 mpg

Let N is the number of hours that can be driven

Len X is the number of gallons of gas in the tank

N(x)= Total number of gallons*Mileage=15*X

Hence, the required model is

$N(X)=15X$
