Answer: The red car travels farther using 1 gallon of gasoline.

Explanation:

Blue Car:

297.6 ÷ 12 = 24.8

24.8 is the number of miles per gallon of gas for the blue car.

Red Car:

358.8 ÷ 13 = 27.6

27.6 is the number of miles per gallon of gas for the red car.

27.6 - 24.8 = 2.8

The red car travels farther using 1 gallon of gasoline.
