You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, my name is Aaron I am in 10th grade and im in honors trig/pre-calc.
All you have to do is set up an equation.
x=minutes
3.2x=300
solve for x
x=93.75minutes
however the question is asking for hours, so just divide it by 60
1.5625hours
Hope I helped. I would really appreciate your recommendation, their are plenty of other things I could be doing rather then spending time on this site helping people. Good luck! :)

-------
Equation:
hours/gallons = hours/gallons
x/300 = (1/60)/3.2
----
x = 5/3.2
---
x = 1.56 hours = 1 hr 33 min 36 seconds
