To find the number of miles the car can go on one gallon of gas, we invert the fraction and multiply.
The car uses 2/3 of a gallon to travel 11 miles.
So, the car can travel 11 miles with 2/3 of a gallon of gas.
To find how many miles the car can travel with 1 gallon of gas, we multiply 11 by the inverse of 2/3.
The inverse of 2/3 is 3/2.
Therefore, the car can travel 11 * 3/2 = 33/2 = 16.5 miles on one gallon of gas.
The car can go 16.5 miles on one gallon of gas.
