You're not confused. 420 miles is correct.

Yay!!!
You're welcome.
So like im homeschool and im doing my work right now that is why i asked this question
add right? and you get 43 right?
Thank you for helping me. I made a 100%😇😇😇
Wow! Nice
You have two numbers. Do you think you should
add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?
What answer do you get?
Think about it. The car goes 28 miles on one gallon. So it must go twice that on two gallons. That's 56 gallons on 2 gallons of gas.
Try again.
To determine how many miles a car can travel on 15 gallons of gas, we need to multiply the number of gallons by the number of miles the car can travel per gallon.
In this case, the car travels 28 miles on 1 gallon of gas. So, to find out how far the car can go on 15 gallons of gas, we will multiply 28 miles by 15 gallons.
28 miles/gallon * 15 gallons = 420 miles
Therefore, the car can travel 420 miles on 15 gallons of gas.
Now, let's check your work: You should have multiplied 28 miles by 15 gallons to get 420 miles. If you have done that correctly, then your answer is correct.
