Dan drove 328 miles using 16 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many miles would he drive using 15 gallons of gas ?

328 / 16 = 20.5 miles per gallon of gas.
Dan travels 20.5 miles per gallon of gas.
Therefore:
Using 15 gallons of gas, Dan would travel:

20.5 * 15 = 307.5 miles per gallon of gas.

Dan would travel 307.5 miles using 15 gallons of gas.
