    202 1/2 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We want to find how far she can drive on 1/2 a tank of gas.

    Her tank can hold 18 gallons. Multiply 18 and 1/2, or divide 18 by 2.

    18*1/2=18*0.5=9

    or

    18/2=9

    1/2 a tank of gas is 9 gallons. Now, we need to find how far she can drive. Multiply the number of gallons in 1/2 a tank by the miles per gallon.

    gallons in 1/2 tank * miles per gallon

    We know she has 9 gallons in 1/2 tank, and she gets 22 1/2, or 22.5 miles per gallon.

    9 gallons * 22.5 miles/gallon

    9*22.5=202.5 = 202 1/2

    She can drive 202 1/2 miles on 1/2 a tank of gas.
