Thus in 1 gallons of gas she can drives:
[tex]171\ miles = 7.6\ gallons[/tex]
[tex]\frac{171}{7.6}\ miles =1\ gallon[/tex]
[tex]22.5\ miles =1\ gallon[/tex]
She can travel 22.5 miles in one gallon or she can drive 22.5 miles per gallon.
To find how many miles she can drive on 12.5 gallons of gas, simply multiply the number 22.5 with 12.5.
