    91 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's make a proportion

    miles/gallons=miles/gallons

    The vehicle gets 39 miles on 1.5 gallons, and x miles on 3.5 gallons

    39 miles/1.5 gallon = x miles/3.5 gallons

    39/1.5=x/3.5

    Now, we need to solve for x. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 3.5 To undo this, multiply both sides by 3.5, because multiplication is the opposite of division.

    3.5*39/1.5=x/3.5*3.5

    The 3.5s on the right cancel, so we are left with:

    3.5*39/1.5=x

    3.5*26=x

    91=x

    The vehicle gets 91 miles on 3.5 gallons of fuel
