Answer:

  • Blue car

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the miles per gallon rate of each car

Blue car:

  • 44 1/2 ÷ 1 1/4 = 89/2 ÷ 5/4 = 89/2 × 4/5 = 356 / 10 = 35.6 miles per gallon

Red car:

  • 27 1/5 ÷ 4/5 = 136/5 × 5/4 = 136/4 = 34 miles per gallon

According the rates, the blue car could travel the greater distance
