The fuel tank in a car holds 20 gallons of gasoline. The car has a fuel efficiency rating of 24 miles per gallon.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

1600 miles × (1 gallon / 24 miles) = 66⅔ gallons

66⅔ gallons × (1 tank / 20 gallons) = 3⅓ tanks

Rounding up to the nearest integer, the family will need 4 tanks.  Since they start with a full tank, they will need to stop at least 3 times.
