Answer 1

15.6 MPG

Explanation:

You start a trip when your odometer reads 23,672 miles, and you have a full tank of gas. After driving a few hours, you fill up your tank. If you buy 16.5 gallons and your odometer reads 23,927, how many miles to the gallon are you getting, rounded to the nearest tenth of a gallon.

You went 23,927 - 23,672 = 255 miles

Because you started on a full tank, you went 255 miles on 16.5 gallons

to figure MPG:

255/16.5 = 15.4545... MPG

rounded to nearest 10th of gallon:

15.6 MPG
