Answer 1

To find out how far the truck could drive on a full tank of 16.8 gallons of gas, we first need to calculate the miles per gallon (MPG) the truck achieves with the previous trip:

1. Calculate the MPG:

\[ \text{MPG} = \frac{\text{Total Miles}}{\text{Total Gallons}} = \frac{229.77 \text{ miles}}{11.1 \text{ gallons}} \approx 20.68 \text{ miles per gallon} \]

2. Now, use this MPG to find out how far the truck could drive on a full tank of 16.8 gallons:

\[ \text{Distance on a full tank} = \text{MPG} \times \text{Full Tank Gallons} = 20.68 \text{ miles per gallon} \times 16.8 \text{ gallons} \approx 347.76 \text{ miles} \]

Therefore, dragging and dropping the response,

The truck could drive 347.76 miles on a full tank of gas.
