    Answer: 12 gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use proportion to estimate how much gas she needs for 204 miles.

    10:120=x:204

    204*10=120x

    x=2040/120

    x=17 gallons

    For 204 mile trip Trina needs 17 gallons of gas. She has 5 gallons.

    17-5=12

    She will need 12 gallons of gas.
