You have the total amount of gas–15 gallons. You have the information in the problem to find the amount of gas consumed. The car can go 32 miles before consuming a full gallon of gas and it traveled 384 miles. So if you divide the 384 miles by 32 miles per gallon, you are left with the gallons consumed

Answer:

525 miles

Explanation:

35 x 15 = 525

Because the car has 15 gallons of gas, and for each gallon of gas it goes 35 miles. All you have to do is multiply.

Thanks!
