Answer:

The number of gallons of gas Karl used is 15 gallons.

Option (C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Karl drove 617.3 miles.

For each gallon of gas, the car can travel 41 miles.

i.e

1 gallons = 41 miles

[tex]1\ miles = \frac{1}{41}\ gallons[/tex]

Now find out for the  617.3 miles.

Thus

[tex]617.3\ miles = \frac{617.3}{41}\ gallons[/tex]

[tex]617.3\ miles = 15.1\ gallons[/tex]

[tex]617.3\ miles = 15\ gallons\ (Approx)[/tex]

Therefore the number of gallons of gas Karl used is 15 gallons.

Option (C) is correct.
