16. What distance can Mr. John's car travel if it achieves 60 miles per gallon and has a full 15-gallon tank?
Correct Incorrect With a mileage of 60 miles per gallon, John's car covers 60 miles for every gallon of fuel. Multiplying both sides of the ratio by 15 (the capacity of his car's tank), we get a ratio of 900 miles to 15 gallons. Therefore, with a full 15-gallon tank, the car can travel 900 miles.
