To find out how far the car will travel on 6 gallons of gas, we need to multiply the number of gallons (6) by the distance the car travels on one gallon of gas (31 4/5).
Let's convert the mixed fraction 31 4/5 into an improper fraction:
31 4/5 = (31 * 5 + 4)/5 = 155/5 + 4/5 = 159/5
Now, we can multiply 6 by 159/5:
6 * 159/5 = (6 * 159)/(5 * 1) = 954/5
The car will travel 954/5 miles on 6 gallons of gas.
To simplify the result, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator of the improper fraction by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 1:
954/5 รท GCD(954, 5)/GCD(1, 5) = 954/5
Therefore, the car will travel 954/5 miles on 6 gallons of gas, or 190.8 miles.
