Explanation:

Step1: Calculate miles per gallon

To find miles per gallon, divide total miles by total gallons. So, \( \frac{96}{3.2} \).
\( 96\div3.2 = 30 \) (miles per gallon)

Step2: Calculate miles for 12.5 gallons

Multiply miles per gallon by 12.5 gallons. So, \( 30\times12.5 \).
\( 30\times12.5 = 375 \)

Answer:

375
