Our car can do 26 miles with one gallon, so, if we have 12.5 gallons, to find how much we can travel we need to make the product of the amount of gallons we have by the amount of milles we can do with one gallon, wich gives us the expression:


12.5*26=325

So our car can travel 325 miles with 12.5 gallons of gas.
