Answer:
393 1/8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance driven in 1 gallon of gas = 23 1/8 miles
23 1/8 miles is mixed fraction.
converting 23 1/8 into improper fraction
23 1/8 = (23*8 + 1)/8 = 185/8
Thus 1 gallon of gas can drive 185/8 miles. ____________1
Since distance for 17 gallons is needed.
we multiply both gallon of gas and distance with 17.
1 *17 gallon of gas can drive 185/8*17 miles
17 gallon of gas can drive (185/8)*17 miles
=>17 gallon of gas can drive (3,145)/8 miles
converting (3,145)/8 miles into mixed fraction we have 393 1/8 .
Thus, Logan's family can drive 393 1/8 miles on 17 gallons.
