Answer: 351

Step-by-step explanation: Divide 378 and 14, you'll get 27 so with each gallon you get 27 miles now you multiply 27 with 13 and you get 351

(if it didn't help and i got it wrong lmk and tell me where and how i got it wrong)

To find out how far Jace can travel on 13 gallons, we can set up a proportion using the information given:

Gallons of fuel (g) : Distance traveled (miles)

14 : 378 = 13 : x

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

14 * x = 13 * 378

14x = 4914

x = 4914 / 14

x ≈ 350.29

Therefore, Jace can travel approximately 350.29 miles on 13 gallons of fuel.
