Answer:

15.4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using a proportion. Keep in mind that "[tex]mi.[/tex]" is miles and "[tex]g[/tex]" is gallons

[tex]\frac{14g}{380mi}=\frac{g}{418}[/tex]

Cross multiply.

[tex]380g = 5852[/tex]

Solve.

[tex]\frac{380g}{380}=\frac{5852}{380}  \\\\g = 15.4[/tex]

Therefore, Adbul would need 15.4 gallons to drive 418 miles.
