C. 6.6 miles per gallon
D. 10 miles per gallon

Answer 1

D’Jonae traveled 264 miles and consumed 4 gallons of gas. Therefore, the distance traveled per gallon of fuel is 66 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance traveled per gallon of fuel, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total amount of fuel consumed.

D’Jonae traveled to and from school, which is a total distance of 2 * 132 miles = 264 miles.

The car consumed 4 gallons of gas over 5 days, so the distance traveled per gallon of fuel is 264 miles / 4 gallons = 66 miles per gallon.
