    Step-by-step explanation:

    Givens

    His tank contains 8 gallons

    He spends 16.50 on gas

    A gallon of gas costs 1.50 dollars

    Millage = 30 mpg

    Find the gas added.

    Total gas (in gallons) added = amount spent / cost per gallon

    Total gas (in gallons) added = 16.50 / 1.50

    Total gas (in gallons) added = 11 gallons.

    Find the total number of gallons in his tank.

    Total = what was there + What he bought.

    Total = 8 + 11

    Total = 19 gallons.

    Find the distance he can travel

    Total distance = gallons * miles / gallon

    Total distance = 19 * 30

    Total distance = 570 miles.
