15. If your car gets 20 miles per gallon, how many full gallons of gas do you need to drive 273 miles?

Explanation

To find the number of gallons of gas needed to drive 273 miles, we divide the total distance by the car's mileage. In this case, the car gets 20 miles per gallon, so we divide 273 by 20. The result is approximately 13.65. Since we can't have a fraction of a gallon, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 14. Therefore, you would need 14 full gallons of gas to drive 273 miles.
