Answer 1

To determine how far the truck could drive on a full tank of 16.8 gallons of gas, we first need to calculate the mileage (miles per gallon) the truck gets.

1. Calculate miles per gallon (MPG): \[ \text{MPG} = \frac{\text{Miles driven}}{\text{Gallons used}} = \frac{229.77 \text{ miles}}{11.1 \text{ gallons}} \approx 20.69 \text{ miles per gallon} \]

2. Calculate the distance for a full tank: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{MPG} \times \text{Full tank in gallons} = 20.69 \text{ miles per gallon} \times 16.8 \text{ gallons} \approx 348.444 \text{ miles} \]

Now, rounding to two decimal places, the truck could drive approximately 348.44 miles on a full tank of gas.

So, you would complete the statement with:

"The truck could drive 348.44 miles on a full tank of gas."
