Answer:

26.

But the proportion seems wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put this as two ordered pairs and solve for the slope, you will get your rate. Let the slope = m

(15,60) and (7,268)

m = (268 - 60) / (15 - 7)

m = 208/8

m = 26

According to this, you are going 26 miles per every gallon used.
