Answer:he would require 8.33 gallons of gas

Explanation:

Mr Dow lives 16 miles from his workplace he drives to and from work five days a week. It means that the distance that he drives everyday to and from work would be

16 × 2 = 32 miles.

Then, the total distance that he drives in a week to and from work would be

32 × 5 = 160 miles

if his car gets 19.2 miles per gallon, it means that the amount of gas that he would use in one week, commuting to and from work would be

160/19.2 = 8.33 gallons
