Sara drives 22.5 miles per gallon and 299.25 miles in 13.3 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara drives 72 miles on 3.2 gallons of gas and we have to calculate how many miles per gallon she can drive.

By unitary method

∵ 3.2 gallons of gas is used to drive = 72 miles

∴ 1  gallon of gas is used to drive = 72÷3.2 miles

                                                       = 22.5 miles

∴ 13.3 gallons of gas is used to drive = 13.3×22.5 = 299.25 miles

Therefore Sara drives 22.5 miles per gallon of gas and on 13.3 gallons of gas she drives 299.25 miles.
