Answer:

D

Explanation:

First we need to find out how many miles we can travel using 1 gallon of gasoline. We can easily find that by dividing 78/13 which equals 6. Now we just need to multiply all of the given answers by 6. To be reasonable, since we already know 13*6=78, we should look at the next smallest number and go up from there.

The next smallest number given is 25. 25*6=150.

Hope this helps!! <3 :)
