You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Rv=d, rate as fuel efficiency, v volume of fuel, d distance.

Change the kilometer distance into miles.
5280 feet = 1 mile
1 foot = 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
100 cm = 1 m
1000 m = 1 km

Let n = number of days.
Let d = 90 kilometers, the one way distance.
2nd = the distance to be traveled on 15.4 gallons of fuel.
v=15.4 gallons of fuel
You have two fuel efficiency rates and are not given how the trip is distributed.

R%2A15.4=2nd

highlight%2822%2A%2815.4%29%3C2nd%3C30%2A%2815.4%29%29;
Make the needed conversion for d and then solve the inequality for d.
