560 / 28 = 20....so the driver travels 20 miles per gallon

on 35 gallons......35 * 20 = 700 miles <==

or u can also do it this way...

560/28 = x / 35....560 miles to 28 gal = x miles to 35 gal
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(28)(x) = (560)(35)
28x = 19600
x = 19600/28
x = 700 miles <==

so u can either do it by finding the unit rate or by making a proportion. either way will result in the same answer.
