You want to buy a new car. The car averages 45 miles per gallon. It has a range of 675 miles on one tank of gas. How many gallons of gas will the car hold when the tank is full?

Hi.
This is just simple division. We want to find miles per gallon, so we divide 675 by 45. You can use a calculator, but right now, I solved the problem. The answer is 15 gallons when the tank is full
