Answer:

19 gallons

Explanation:

if a van travels 180 miles / 12 gallons, it needs one gallon for every 15 miles.

285 miles / 15 = 19 gallons

The van will need 19 gallons to travel 285 miles.

Hope this helps!

if a van travels 180 miles / 12 gallons, it travels 15 miles / gallon (simply divide 180 / 12)

285 miles / 15 = 19 gallons

The van will need 19 gallons to travel 285 miles.
