How many times does he have to drive 160 miles in order to cover 880 ?
880/160 = 5.5 times
He'll need 5 complete tanks of gas, and 1/2 of another one.

Dave will need approximately 5.5 tanks of gas to drive 880 miles. This means if he can't use a half tank, he will need to fill up 6 tanks for the trip. The calculation involves setting up a proportion based on the distance he can drive with one tank of gas.
