Mrs. Walters drove 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas. Mr. Walters drove 480 miles on 32 gallons of gas.

c. Which car is getting the better mileage per gallon?

Answer 1

14.4 15 I know that Mr. Walters got the better mileage. I know this because I divided Mrs. Walters 360 miles by 25 to get how many miles per a gallon they got. I did the same for Mr. Walters. Mrs. Walters got 14.1 miles per gallon, while Mr. Walters got 15 miles per gallon.

Have a great day! :)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Best miles is the higher miles per gallon. Divide miles by gallons to find miles per gallon:

Mrs. Walters : 360 miles / 25 gallons = 14.4 miles per gallon.

Mr. Walters: 480 miles / 32 gallons = 15 miles per gallon.

Mr. Walters can drive further per gallon so he has the better mileage per gallon.
