Respuesta :
By using the 13 gallons of fuel, the thief can reach a city that is at a distance up to a maximum of 208 miles at the best.
What is the unit rate?
⇒ Unit rate is the amount of a certain item related to a single unit of another item.
Calculation:
The total cost of the fuel = $31.72
The cost of the fuel per gallon=$2.44
Quantity of the fuel purchased=$31.72/$2.44
=13 gallon
The distance that can be traveled per gallon = 16 miles
The distance that can be traveled per 13 gallons= 16×13
=208 miles
Hence, by using 13 gallons of fuel, the thief can reach a city that is at a distance up to a maximum of 208 miles at the best.
