Question 1033977: Sid drives a taxi for Ace Taxis.
His taxi uses fuel at the rate of 36 mpg (miles per gallon).
The taxi fuel tank holds 10 gallons of fuel.
Sid has a booking to take Sarah to the airport.
The total distance is 126 miles.
Sid starts with half a tank of fuel.
Does he have enough fuel to complete the journey?

Half a tank of gas is 5 gallons.
If he gets 36 miles per gallon, he can travel
5 * 36 = 180 miles
He has more than enough to get there (but he can't come back without refueling).
