    Minimum distance = 319 miles Maximum distance = 385 miles

    Explanation:

    Average mileage = 32 mi/gal

    The actual mileage may vary by at most 3 mi/gal.

    Minimum mileage = 32 - 3 = 29 mi/gal

    Maximum mileage = 32 + 3 = 35 mi/gal

    Amount of gas = 11 gal

    We need to find the minimum and maximum distances the car can travel.

    Minimum distance = Minimum mileage x Amount of gas

    Minimum distance = 29 x 11

    Minimum distance = 319 miles

    Maximum distance = Maximum mileage x Amount of gas

    Maximum distance = 35 x 11

    Maximum distance = 385 miles
