Answer: a) 338 miles

b) $52.26

Step-by-step explanation: To get the amount of miles that your car can drive before running out of gas, you just multiply how many gallons you have by how many miles each gallon lasts. Then, to get the cost of all the gas, you multiply the cost of the gas by how many gallons you need.
