    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.
