720 miles traveled on 60 gallons of gasoline.
Express this on its Unit Rate.
To get the answer, we need to divide 720 miles by 60 gallons of gasoline
=> 720 / 60 = 12 miles /gallons
Thus, in every 1 gallon of gasoline, you can travel 12 miles.
So, the expression would be like this:
720 miles / 60 gallons = 12 miles / gallon
Let’s check our answer
=> 12 miles x 60 gallons = 720 miles.
Thus, we got the correct answer.
