50/2,5 (gallons) will give you the rate per 1 gallon.

50/2,5 is 20, so 20 miles per gallon

Hello! To find the unit rate in miles per gallon, all you have to do is divide the amount of miles by the amount of gallons. 2½ is 2.5 in decimal form. 50/2.5 is 20. There. The unit rate is 20 miles per gallon.
