Answer 1

294 times 1760 (yds in mile). The divide that answer by 14

Answer 2

There are 1,760 yards in a mile.
first, figure out how many yards 294 miles is.
294 * 1,760 = 517,440
now we need to figure out how many yards there are per gallon. to do this, we divide 517,440 by 14.
517,440 / 14 = 36,960
so the car can travel 36,960 yrds/gallon
