SOLUTION

Answer 1

The total change in the gallons of gas in the car's tank is -0.26 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total change in the gallons of gas in the car's tank, we need to multiply the distance driven by the change in gas per mile.

Distance driven = 6.5 miles

Change in gas per mile = -0.04 gallon

Total change in gas = 6.5 miles * (-0.04 gallon/mile) = -0.26 gallon

Therefore, the total change in the gallons of gas in the car's tank is -0.26 gallon.

Answer 2
