Answer 2

Answer: B. $189.52

Explanation:

The car run in 1 gallon of gas = 38 miles

To travel 1 mile distance, the consumption of gas by car =
`(1)/(38)` gallon

To travel 1748 miles distance, the consumption of gas by car =
`1748*(1)/(38)`=46 gallons

Since, the cost of 1 gallon of gas = $4.12

Now, the cost of 46 gallons of gas =
`4.12*46=\$189.52`

Hence, the approximate driving cost of the trip = $189.52.
