Answer: 22 miles per gallong

Explanation:

Given: The distance covered by you = 242 miles

Number of galloons of gas you have = 11 gallons

The formula to find the speed is given by :-


\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

i.e.
\text{Speed}=(242)/(11)

i.e.
\text{Speed}=22\text{ miles per gallon}

Hence , your car has 22 miles per gallon.
