Answer: 201

Step-by-step explanation: Ok this is very simple for those of you who are stuck on this. First you divide 12 by 268. You would get 22 with a remainder of 4. This in fractions would be 22 1/3. So he would be driving 22 1/3 miles with 1 galloon of gas. If you multiply this by 9 you would get 201 miles which is how much he can drive in 9 gallons of gas.

Hoped this helped!
