Answer:

  525 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Two unit rates are given in this problem:

  1. miles per gallon
  2. gallons per mile

Since we want to find miles, the appropriate rate to use is miles per gallon:

[tex]\text{distance}=\dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{gallon}}\times\text{gallons}\\\\ \text{distance}=\dfrac{35\,\text{miles}}{\text{gallon}}\times 15\,\text{gallons}=525\,\text{miles}[/tex]

The car can travel 525 miles on 15 gallons of gas.
