Decide whether the rates are equivalent. 96 miles on 4 gallons or 380 miles on 15 gallons.

Well first you gotta simplify them, to see if they're equal... 96/4 = 48/2 = 24, and
380/15 = 76/3 = 25.3333 so no, the rates aren't equivalent.

380miles÷ 15 gallons=25
96miles÷4gallons=24

The miles per gallon of the 2 are not equal. Therefore, they are not equivalent.
