    To answer the question, use the concept of ratio and proportion. Haley's given mileage should be equal all throughout. Let x be the minimum number of gallons that Haley needs, the proportion becomes,

    18 miles / 1 gallon = 200 miles / x gallons

    The value of x is 11.11 gallons. Thus, Haley need at least 11.11 gallons.
