    2.64 gallons

    Step-by-step explanation:

    13 miles / 13 minutes = 1 mile per minutes * 60 minutes / hour = 60 miles per hour

    The miles per gallon is 50 per the chart

    13 miles : 50 miles per gallon

    Copy dot flip

    13 * 1/50 gallons per mile = 13/50 gallons=.26 gallons

    Now for the second leg we went 68 miles per hour

    The miles per gallon is 40 per the chart

    We need to find the distance

    1 hour 24 minutes = 1 24/60 hours = 1.4 hours

    1.4 hours * 68 mph = 95.2 miles

    95.2 miles : 40 miles per gallon

    Copy dot flip

    95.2 * 1/40 gallons per mile = 2.38 gallons

    Add the number of gallons together

    .26 + 2.38 = 2.64 gallons
