To find when Miguel and Christina will have the same amount of gas in their tanks, we can use the formula:
(Gallons used per week by Miguel) * (Number of weeks) = (Gallons used per week by Christina) * (Number of weeks)
Let's plug in the given information:
1.5 * x = 1 * x
Where x represents the number of weeks.
Now, we can solve for x:
1.5x = x
Subtracting x from both sides:
0.5x = 0
Dividing both sides by 0.5:
x = 0
Therefore, Miguel and Christina will have the same amount of gas in their tanks after 0 weeks.
