your answer is 25 miles per gallon!

Answer 2

A. 25.

Explanation:

We have been given that Garland started the week with an odometer reading of 58,240 miles and a full tank. He ended the week with an odometer reading of 58,615, and he re-filled the tank with 15 gallons of gas.

To find the mileage for Garland's bike we will divide total distance traveled by total used fuel.

`\text{Mileage}=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total amount of fuel}}`

`\text{Mileage}=\frac{\text{58,615 miles - 58,240 miles}}{\text{15 gallons}}`

`\text{Mileage}=\frac{\text{375 miles}}{\text{15 gallons}}`

`\text{Mileage}=\frac{\text{25 miles}}{\text{ gallon}}`

Therefore, Garland get a mileage of 25 miles per gallon and option A is the correct choice.
