    Jocelyn has to spend $13.46 on gas.

    To find this, you first have to determine the number of miles she drives. You can find this by multiplying the speed by the travel time.

    65 miles per hour * 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles.

    Now that he have the amount of miles she drives, we can find the amount of gas she spends. In order to do that we'll divide the distance by the rate.

    97.5 miles / 25 miles per gallon of gas = 3.9 gallons

    Now we can determine the cost by multiplying the amount of gallons by the price.

    3.9 gallons * $3.45 per gallon = $13.46
