To determine how far Tamika can travel on 7 gallons of gas, we first need to calculate her car's fuel efficiency in miles per gallon.
-
Calculate the miles per gallon (mpg): \[ \text{Fuel Efficiency} = \frac{\text{Total Miles}}{\text{Total Gallons}} = \frac{572 \text{ miles}}{13 \text{ gallons}} \approx 44 \text{ mpg} \]
-
Calculate the distance she can travel on 7 gallons: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Fuel Efficiency} \times \text{Gallons} = 44 \text{ mpg} \times 7 \text{ gallons} = 308 \text{ miles} \]
Therefore, Tamika can travel approximately 308 miles on 7 gallons of gas.
