Answer:they would drive 448 miles if they spend $24 on gasoline

Explanation:

The Morrison’s car uses one gallon of gasoline for every 28 miles. If gasoline costs $1.50 per gallon, then the cost of driving 28 miles would be $1.5.

Therefore, the number of miles can they drive if they spend $24 on gasoline would be

(28 × 24)/1.5 = 448 miles
