To find out how far Josh drives when he uses 5 gallons of gas, we can use the given function \( D(g) = 40g \).
Substituting \( g = 5 \) into the function:
\[
D(5) = 40 \times 5
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
D(5) = 200
\]
Thus, if Josh uses 5 gallons of gas, he drives **200 miles**.
Substituting \( g = 5 \) into the function:
\[
D(5) = 40 \times 5
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
D(5) = 200
\]
Thus, if Josh uses 5 gallons of gas, he drives **200 miles**.
