Answer: 16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The car used 1/64 gallons to travel 1/4 miles. To find out how many miles the car can travel using 1 gallon, use direct proportion:

1/64 gallons            :              1/4 miles

1 gallon                   :                  x miles

Cross multiply:

1/64x = 1/4

x = 1/4 ÷ 1/64

= 1/4 * 64/1

= 16 miles

On one gallon of gas, the car can travel 16 miles.
