Answer: 315 Miles.

30 Gallon Tank on Half: 30 / 2 = 15.
21 miles per gallon: 21 x 15 = 315 Miles.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Toy truck will drive 315 miles since last the tank was filled.

Explanation:

BTW troy truck has tank of capacity = 30 gallons

Since the toy truck is half filled so gas in the tank =
(30)/(2)

= 15 gallons of gas

Average of the toy truck is given as = 21 miles per gallon

That means in 1 gallon truck travels = 21 miles

Therefore in 15 gallons of gas truck will travel = 21 × 15

= 315 miles

Toy truck will drive 315 miles since last the tank was filled.
