Answer:

Explanation:

Unit rate = (420 miles)/(12 gallons) = (420/12 miles)/gallon = (35 miles)/gallon

:::::

Fuel consumption = (number of miles) × (1 gallon)/(35 miles)

:::::

287 miles × (1 gallon)/(35 miles) = 8.2 gallons

sorry i only know the answer of c

it's 8.2 gallons

12 gallons = 420 miles

12 gallons = 420 miles? gallons =287 miles

420 miles ÷ 12 gallons = 35miles/gallon

420 miles ÷ 12 gallons = 35miles/gallon287 miles ÷ 35 miles/gallon = 8.2 gallons
