Roger's car gets an average of 25 miles per gallon. If his gas tank holds 16 gallons, how far can he drive on a full tank?

  • A. 41 miles
  • B. 100 miles
  • C. 400 miles
  • D. 320 miles
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the distance Roger can drive on a full tank, multiply the number of gallons in his tank by the average miles per gallon his car gets. 16 gallons x 25 miles per gallon = 400 miles. Therefore, Roger can drive 400 miles on a full tank. Choice A (41 miles) is incorrect as it does not consider the tank's full capacity. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it does not account for the full tank's capacity and the average miles per gallon. Choice D (320 miles) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total distance based on the given information.
