Answer:

You will run out of gas before you reach your destination

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The gas tank can hold 18 gallons

Your gas tank is 1/4 full

so

The total gas in the car is

[tex]18(\frac{1}{4})=4.5\ gal[/tex]

The vehicle averages 22 miles per gallon

so

To find out the number of miles, multiply 22 miles per gallon by 4.5 gallons

[tex]22(4.5)=99\ mi[/tex]

Compare

[tex]99\ miles < 110\ miles[/tex]

therefore

You will run out of gas before you reach your destination
