Question

Adam’s car traveled 465.3 miles on 16.5 gallons of gas. Which equation can be used to determine the average number of miles that the car traveled on each gallon of gas?

Answer 1

465.3/ 16.5=28.2 miles/gal

Answer 2

`28.2(miles)/(gallon)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find the average number of miles that the car traveled on each gallon of gas, divide the total miles by the total gallons of gas

so

`(465.3)/(16.5)(miles)/(gallons)=28.2(miles)/(gallon)`
