To find out how far Haley can drive with a full tank, you can multiply the number of gallons her gas tank holds by the miles per gallon her truck gets.
The formula is:
\[
\text{Total distance} = \text{Miles per gallon} \times \text{Gallons in the tank}
\]
Given:
- Miles per gallon = 18.4
- Gallons in the tank = 20.5
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Total distance} = 18.4 \, \text{miles per gallon} \times 20.5 \, \text{gallons}
\]
Calculating it:
\[
\text{Total distance} = 18.4 \times 20.5 = 378.2 \, \text{miles}
\]
Haley can drive **378.2 miles** with a full tank.
