You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+9+ minutes is +9%2F60+=+3%2F20+ hrs
( mi/hr ) x ( hrs ) = miles
+35%2A%28+3%2F20+%29+=+5.25+ miles
-------------------------
( miles ) / ( miles / gallon ) = gallons
+5.25+%2F+12+=+.4375+ gallons
-------------------------
You use .4375 gallons of gas
( dollars / gallon ) x ( gallons ) = dollars
+2.06%2A.4375+=+.90125+ dollars
+4%2A.90125+=+3.605+
The cost in gas is $3.61
