Answer:

You can drive 2090 miles. The car's mileage is 38 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this, it asks for first how far you drive with 55 gallons of gas and states that you can drive 380 miles on 10 gallons of gas. What you would do here is do the miles for ten gallons times five to get to the mileage for fifty gallons of gas, which is 1900. Of course, this is only 50 of the 55 gallons, so all you would have to do is 380 ÷ 2 and add that to 1900 because 10 ÷ 2 is 5, which gives you a total of 2090 miles for 55 gallons of gas.

For the second part about the gas' mileage. You do 380 ÷ 10 to get the miles driven for one gallon of gas. This equals 38 miles, so your answer for this should be 38 miles for 1 gallon of gas if I'm not mistaken.

Hope this helped!
