The average car manufactured in the United states in 2001 could drive 24.5 miles on 1 car gallon of gas. To find the number of yards the car can travel on gallon of gas, we would convert 24.5 miles.
1 mile = 1760 yards
24.5 miles = 24.5 × 1760
= 43120 yards
Therefore, the car drives 43120 yards on 1 gallon of gas.
