Jackson loves to take day trips during weekends. Last weekend, he drove 80 miles to Crabclaw Beach. He used 4 gallons of gas to get there. This weekend, he will drive 100 miles to get to Mount Highmore.
If he uses gas at the same rate, how many gallons of gas will Jackson use to get to Mount Highmore


To find out how many gallons of gas Jackson will use to get to Mount Highmore, we can use the gas consumption rate from his trip to Crabclaw Beach.

From the trip to Crabclaw Beach:
- Distance: 80 miles
- Gas used: 4 gallons

Gas consumption rate = $\frac{80 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ gallons}} = 20 \text{ miles per gallon}$

Now, for the trip to Mount Highmore:
- Distance: 100 miles
- Gas consumption rate: 20 miles per gallon

We can use the formula:
\[
\text{Gallons used} = \frac{\text{Distance to Mount Highmore}}{\text{Miles per gallon}} = \frac{100 \text{ miles}}{20 \text{ miles per gallon}} = 5 \text{ gallons}
\]

Therefore, Jackson will use **5 gallons of gas** to drive to Mount Highmore.
