Solution
To solve this problem, you need to divide the total miles traveled by the total gallons of gas used.
Step 1: Identify the total miles traveled and the total gallons of gas used. In this case, the motorist traveled 311 miles on 12 gallons of gas.
Step 2: Divide the total miles traveled by the total gallons of gas used.
311 miles ÷ 12 gallons = 25.9166666667 miles/gallon
Step 3: Round to the nearest tenth.
25.9166666667 miles/gallon rounds to 25.9 miles/gallon
So, the motorist can travel approximately 25.9 miles on one gallon of gas. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 25.9 miles.
