Leon drives a long distance to attend a family reunion. At 12:00 PM, his gas tank is completely filled with 12 gallons of gas. Leon’s car uses gas at a constant rate, and after two hours of driving, Leon notices that his car used five gallons of gas. Leon will stop to get gas when his tank is one fourth of the way full. If Leon’s car continues to use gas at the same constant rate and Leon makes no other stops on his trip, at what time will Leon stop to get gas? Be sure to include AM or PM in your answer.

Based on the rate that Leon's car uses gas, the time that Leon will stop to get gas is 3:36 pm.

When will Leon stop to get gas?

Leon will stop to get gas when the tank is 1/4 full which is:
= 1/4 x 12

= 3 gallons

The rate at which the car uses gas is:

= Gallons used / Time traveled

= 5 / 2

= 2.5 gallons per hour

The number of hours till he has to stop is:

= (12 gallons - 3 gallons) / 2.5

= 3.6 hours

The time that Leon will stop is:

= 12pm + 3.6 hours

= 12 pm  + 3 hours 36 minutes

= 1536 hours

= 3:36 pm
