To find out how far Mr. Anderson can travel with his car, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Fuel Efficiency} \times \text{Amount of Fuel} \]

Given:

  • Fuel Efficiency = 24.9 miles per gallon
  • Amount of Fuel = 6 gallons

Now we can calculate the distance:

\[ \text{Distance} = 24.9 \text{ miles/gallon} \times 6 \text{ gallons} = 149.4 \text{ miles} \]

So, the correct answer is:

C. Mr. Anderson can travel 149.4 miles.
