Answer:

Ann drove 312 miles in 8 gallons.

Explanation:

Distance covered by Ann's car = 117 miles

Gallons of gas spent by Ann's car to cover 117 miles = 3 gallons

Unit rate = 117 miles / 3 gallons

= 39 miles per gallon

so Ann's car can go 39 miles in one gallon of gas.

  • Given that Ann used 8 gallons of gas.

Therefore,

Distance covered by Ann's car in 8 gallons = 39 × 8

= 312 miles

Therefore, Ann drove 312 miles in 8 gallons.
