A car averages 16.8 miles per gallon and uses 265 gallons traveling cross-country.

Determine the distance that the car traveled.

In order to determine the distance that the car traveled, we simply need to multiply 265 gallons by 16.8.

= (256 gallons )(16.8 miles per gallon)

The unit gallons cancel

= 4,300.8 miles

Final answer:
