Answer:248

Explanation:

First you need to find the unit rate by dividing 93 by 3 which would be 31 then take that number (which is how many miles for one gallon) and multiply it by 8 which would get you 248( if you need this as an equation here 93\3= 31 31*8 = 248). If they gave you the distance instead you would have had to divide by 31 instead of using multiplication. Hope this helps!
