what distance in miles can you drive in your new Prius hybrid, if your car gets 56 miles per gallon and you have 15.5 gallons of gas?

Taking into account the rule of three, you can drive your new Prius hybrid a distance of 868 miles.

Rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, the direct rule of three must be applied as follow, being a, b and c known data and x the variable to be calculated:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x= (c×b) ÷a

In this case, you can apply the following rule of three: If the car for 1 gallon of gasoline gets 56 miles, for 15.5 gallons of gasoline it gets how many miles?

1 gallon ⇒ 56 miles

15.5 gallons ⇒ x

So: x= (15.5 gallons ×56 miles) ÷1 gallon

Solving:

x= 868 miles

In summary, you can drive your new Prius hybrid a distance of 868 miles.

This is science not Chemistry

In the following illustration what do you call location (a) and location (b)?​

A student is given a metal block and told to calculate the density of the object. The student measures the block on each side (LxWxH) 4 times each.
He then calculates the average measurement for each side. Those average values are:
Average Length = 6.51 cm
Average Width = 4.34 cm
Average Height = 7.17 cm
Calculate the volume of the block
