Step-by-step explanation:

A car travels 360.25 miles using 13.1 gallon of gas.

The mileage of the car = $\frac{Distance}{\text{ total fuel used}}$

                                     = $\frac{360.25}{13.1}$

                                     = 27.5 miles per gallon

The car travels 27.5 miles per gallon.

Option b. is the correct answer.
