Bonny's truck has a fuel tank which holds 50 gallons, and she typically drives 425 miles on a full tank. She has added a second tank, which holds 30 gallons.

To figure how far she can go between fill-ups now, she multiplies 50 x 425, then divides by 30, to get 708.3 miles. Is this correct?

No; she should have divided 425 by 50, then multiplied by 80.
