Over the weekend, Brady and jack drove to Key West to go scuba diving. Now they are preparing to go home. Brady needs gas for his jeep, which now they're preparing to go home. Brady needs gas for his jeep, which gets 28 miles per gallon for gas mileage. When he stops at the gas station, he Already has 10 gallons of gas in his tank. He buys more gas for $1.75 per gallon. If Brady spends $17.50 on gas, what is the total distance the boys could travel? Round, if necessary, to the nearest tenth.

17.50/ 1.75 = 10 gallons he bought

he already had 10 so 10 +10 =20 gallons total

he can drive 28 miles per gallon so 28*20 = 560 miles he can drive
