Minimum distance Cindy could've traveled = 285 miles
Maximum distance Cindy could've traveled = 294 miles

Minimum volume of gasoline Cindy could've used = 11.5 gallons
Maximum volume of gasoline Cindy could've used = 12.4 gallons

Minimum number of miles per gallon = (minimum distance)/(maximum volume of gasoline) = 285/12.4
Maximum number of miles per gallon = (maximum distance)/(minimum volume of gasoline) = 294/11.5

Closes option is D.
