627/12.3 would tell you how many miles per gallon

well i know it starts 627/12.3 then on the continuing sentence its confusing

anonymous · Answer

if the car gets a certain number of miles per gallon then you multiply that number by the 6.9 to find out how far she can go on 6.9 gallons of gas and then you can decide if she makes it home or not
