[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine the smallest number of gallons you would need to buy to have a whole number of dollars, we need to understand the relationship between gallons and dollars.

First, we must know the price of one gallon of a particular item. Let's say the price of one gallon is $1.25.

To find out the smallest number of gallons required to have a whole number of dollars, we can divide $1 by the price per gallon:

$1 ÷ $1.25 = 0.8

This means that if one gallon costs $1.25, you would need to buy at least 0.8 gallons to have a whole number of dollars. However, since you can't buy partial gallons, you would need to round up to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the smallest number of gallons you would need to buy to have a whole number of dollars is 1 gallon.
