Question

Write as a unit rate a) 337.2 mile on 12 gal of gas b) 13,516 passengers on 62 flights

Answer 1

a) We need to divide the number of miles by the number of gallons:

`\frac{337.2mi}{12\text{gal}}=28.1(milles)/(gallon)`

b) We need to divide the number of passengers by the number of flights:

`\frac{13516\text{passengers}}{62flights}=218\frac{\text{passengers}}{flight}`

Summing up, the answers are:

a) 28.1milles/gallon

b)218passengers/flight
