    Answer: 19.5 gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question, we have to use proportions:

    Nathaniel buys 28 gallons of gas for $56, so the proportion is:

    $56 / 28 gallons.

    For $39:

    $39 / x gallons

    Solving for x (number of gallons)

    56/28 = 39/x

    x = 39 / (56/28)

    x = 19.5 gallons

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
