Ethan Lopez · Answer 1

15.50 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide 23,927 by 23,672

which looks like this 23,927-23,672

the result is 255

you take 255 and divide it by the amount of gallons it took to refill your car

which results in the answer 15.45

then you round to the nearest tenth

which would be 15.50
