Answer : The distance travel on a full tank of gas is 450 mile.

Explanation :

As we are given the car has 15 gal tank and their average is 30 mi/gal. Now we have to calculate the distance they can travel on a full tank of gas.

In 1 gal tank they can travel = 30 mile

In 15 gal tank they can travel =
\frac{15\text{ gal}}{1\text{ gal}}* 30\text{ mile}

= 450 mile

Hence, the distance travel on a full tank of gas is 450 mile.
