Please Help!
Alicia's car can drive 25.2 miles per gallon of gas. Alicia's gas tank currently holds ​9 1/2 gallons of gas. How many miles can Alicia drive with the gas in her tank?

Answer 1

Distance travelled must be equal to fuel conserved in travelling per litre
distance=9 1/2*25.2
=19/2*25.2
=239.4 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

$239.4\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Alicia's car can drive $25.2$ miles per gallon of gas

so

by proportion

Find how many miles can Alicia drive with $9\frac{1}{2}$ gallons of gas

Remember that

$9\frac{1}{2}=9.5\ gallons$

$\frac{25.2}{1}\frac{miles}{gallon} =\frac{x}{9.5}\frac{miles}{gallon} \\ \\x=9.5*25.2\\ \\x=239.4\ miles$
