Answer: the distance it can travel on full tank is 675 miles

Explanation:

Gas Mileage is how many miles you travel on one gallon of gasoline.

A new Honda Accord Hybrid ( part electric, part gasoline ) tests for its gas mileage by traveling 432 miles on 8 gallons of gasoline.

This means that its gas mileage is

Number of miles travelled / number of gallons of gasoline used.

Gas mileage = 432/8 = 54 miles per gallon

If a full tank containing 12 1/2 = 25/2 gallons is used, the distance that it can travel will be

Gas mileage × volume of the full tank. it becomes

54 × 25/2 = 675miles
