Question

To find the mileage, or how many miles per gallon a car can travel, you can use the expression m/g where m is the distance in miles and g is the number of gallons of gas used. Find the mileage for a car that travels 576 miles on 18 gallons of gas.

Answer 1

576/18 = 32 miles per gallon

Answer 2

The mileage is 32 miles per gallon

Explanation:

Given formula,

`\text{Mileage of a car}=(m)/(g)`

Where,

m = distance in miles

g = number of gallons of gas used,

We have given,

m = 576 miles, g = 18 gallons,

Therefore, the mileage of the car =
`(576)/(18)` = 32 miles per gallon
