Complete question :

The expression 12g gives the number of kilometers a car can travel using g liters of gasoline.How far can this car travel on 6 1/2 liters of gasoline

Answer:

78 km

Explanation:

12g = Number of kilometers traveled using g litres of gasoline. - - - (1)

The expression shows that:

Kilometers per gallon = 12

Number of gallons used = miles per gallon * distance

Distance that can be traveled on a 6 1/2 lites of gas :

Here, g = 6 1/2

Substituting the value of g into the expression Given :

Distance = 12g

g = 6 1/2

Distance = 12(6 1/2)

Distance = 12(13/2) = 12(6.5)

Distance = 78 km
