Answer: He will use 70 liters of gasoline on a trip of 700 kilometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jessie uses 20 liters of gasoline to travel 200 kilometers.

We assume that the rate of consumption of gasoline is contant.

By UNITARY METHOD, the amount of gasoline required for 1 kilometer distance = [tex]\dfrac{20}{200}=\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] liter

Now, the amount of gasoline required for 700 kilometer distance = [tex]700\times\dfrac{1}{10}=70[/tex] liters

Hence, He will use 70 liters of gasoline on a trip of 700 kilometer.
