Answer:

27 mi/gal

Explanation:

The car mileage refers to the number of miles that a vehicle can run per gallon of fuel. A higher car mileage is desirable because it means that the vehicle has a better performance (travels more distance per gallon of fuel.) A driver uses 2.7 gallons of gasoline to drive her car 72.9 miles. The car mileage is:

72.9 miles / 2.7 gallon = 27 miles/gallon

The car can travel 27 miles per gallon of gasoline.

divide 72.9 by 2.7

72.9 / 2.7 = 27 miles per gallon
