D) 8.3 hours

Given,

• John's car can travel on an average 32 miles on one gallon of gasoline.
• On a recent road trip, his average speed was 58 miles per hour approximately.

To Find,

• How many hours was he able to drive on a 15 gallon tank of gasoline?

1 gallon tank of gasoline = 32 miles

• → 15 gallon tank of gasoline = 15(32 miles)
• → 15 gallon tank of gasoline = 480 miles

Then, 480 miles can be covered by using 15 gallon tank of gasoline.

58 miles can be covered in 1 hr.

• → 58 miles = 1 hr
• → 1 miles = 1/58 hr

Then, 1 miles can be covered in 1/58 hrs.

480 miles can be covered = 480 × 1/58 hrs

• 480 miles can be covered = 240/29 hrs
• 480 miles can be covered = 8.27 hrs

8.3 hours he able to drive on a 15 gallon tank of gasoline.
