    2.64 gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using the information in the table to find out how much petrol he uses. Average speed Miles travelled per gallon 65 mph or less More than 65 mph 50 40 mph stands for miles per hour

    13 miles / 13 minutes = 1 mile per minutes * 60 minutes / hour = 60 miles per hour

    The miles per gallon is 50 per the chart

    13 miles : 50 miles per gallon

    13 * 1/50 gallons per mile = 13/50 gallons = 0.26 gallons

    Now for the second leg we went 68 miles per hour

    The miles per gallon is 40 per the chart

    We need to find the distance

    1 hour 24 minutes = 1 24/60 hours = 1.4 hours

    1.4 hours * 68 mph = 95.2 miles

    95.2 miles : 40 miles per gallon

    95.2 * 1/40 gallons per mile = 2.38 gallons

    Add the number of gallons together

    0.26 + 2.38 = 2.64 gallons
