Answer:

Justin travels 211.83 miles on 8.2 gallons of gas.

Explanation:

77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x miles / 8.2 gallons

Solve for x... multiply by 8.2 gallons on both sides (that cancels it on the right) side of the equation.

8.2 gallons *77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x

635.5/ 3.1 = x

211.83 miles = x
