I want to use this equation:
[ miles / hour ] / [ miles / gallon ] = [ gallons / hour ]
then I want to use:
[ gallons / hour ] x [ hours ] = [ gallons ]
---------------------------------------------
[ miles / hour ] / [ miles / gallon ] = [ gallons / hour ]

and
[ gallons / hour ] x [ hours ] = [ gallons ]

5 gallons will be consumed
