Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

yes   you have 16*1/4 = 4 gallons of gas in the tank, and we all know the gas gauges are not too accurate as they get low, there could be a lot less :0

but if you did have 4 gallons, and you could get 20 MPH, then you will only go

4*20 = 80 miles... have a nice 20 mile walk :/   or get gas , your choice :P

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the tank is 1/4 full and the max amount that the tank can hold is 16, this means that there is 4 gallons in the tank

4 times 20 = 80

Meaning you only have 80 miles of gas left to drive with.
