multiply 18 by 26.7 to get that answer

Answer 2

480.6 miles.

Explanation:

We have been given that John's car gets an average of 18 mpg. John fills his tank with 26.7 gallons of gas.

To find the distance traveled by John's car, we will multiply the distance covered per gallon by number of gallons in the tank.

`\text{Total distance traveled by John's car}=\frac{18\text{ miles}}{\text{gallon}}* \text{26.7 gallons}`

`\text{Total distance traveled by John's car}=18\text{ miles}* 26.7`

`\text{Total distance traveled by John's car}=480.6\text{ miles}`

Therefore, John can travel 480.6 miles on a tank of gas.
