• A. 21.55 mi
• B. 1.293 mi
• C. 12.93 mi
• D. 51.72 mi

Answer 1

The correct option is C 12.93 mi

Distance covered using 4 gal of gasoline = 86.2 mi
Distance covered using 1 gal of gasoline = 86.2 $÷$ 4

Distance covered using 1 gal of gasoline = 21.55 mi
Distance covered using 0.6 gal of gasoline = 21.55 $\times$ 0.6


Distance covered using 0.6 gal of gasoline = 12.93 mi
