Respuesta :

Answer: The car can travel 525 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas mileage of the car is the number of miles that it can travel on one gallon of gasoline. If the car travels 35 miles per gallon, that means its gas mileage is number of miles travelled / number of gallons of gasoline used.

If the car has 15 gallons of gasoline to travel with, the distance that it can travel would be

Gas mileage of the car × the number of gallons of gasoline it has to travel with. It becomes

35 × 15 = 525 miles
