Answer 1

100 times 35=3500  she can go 3500 miles on the free gas.  she can go round trip to see her cousin on free gas because 1650+1650 is less than 3500

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, she can drive round-trip to see her cousin on the free gas.

Explanation:

Given : Ms o'Malley cousin live 1,650 miles away.

Ms o'Malley won a gift card for 100 gallons of gas.

I her car can travel 35 miles on each gallon.

Then, the total distance she can cover in 100 gallons of gas =
`35*100=3500\text{ miles}`

Since 3500 miles > 1,650 miles

It means she can drive round-trip to see her cousin on the free gas.

hence, the correct answer is "Yes".
