Please explain the work you have to do to get the answer

Answer 1

It would be 21 cents per gallon.....you would divide 300 miles by 18 gallons to get how many miles he can travel per gallon. Then you would take the price per gallon and divide by how many miles you can travel on that one gallon and you get 21 cents per gallon
