First u wanna focus on these parts "Your car averages 380 miles on a 14-gallon tank of gas"

U wanna (Divide) (380) by (14)

$$380\div14=27.1428571429$$

U wanna round (27.1428571429) to the (Nearest Hundredth)

(27.1428571429) after rounded =(27.14)

Now u wanna focus on this part "but have One-half gallon of lawn mower gas with you"

So basically u can only carry (Half) a gallon

U wanna (Divide) (27.14) by (2)

$$27.14\div2=13.57$$

So you will (Not) be able to reach the nearest gas station that is 15 miles away bc u only have 13.57 gallon tank of gas.
