Answer:

You could drive 2805 miles on 55 gallons of gas

The car's gas mileage is 51 miles per gallon

Explanation:

First, find the gas mileage by dividing the given number of miles by the number of gallons:

510/10

= 51

The car's gas mileage is 51 miles.

Find how far you can drive on 55 gallons of gas by multiplying 51 by 55

51(55)

= 2805

So, you can drive 2805 miles.
