At 24 mpg, Michael can travel 394 miles on a tank of gas.

We know that:

Distance traveled is equal to the product of the number of gallons in the tank and the average distance traveled on a single gallon by car

Now,

Number of gallons in the tank = 16.4

Distance traveled on a single gallon by car = 24

Total distance travled = 16.4 x 24

= 393.6 (394 Aprrox)

Therefore, At 24 mpg, Michael can travel 394 miles on a tank of gas.
