Question

Yesterday, Jack drove 355 miles. He used 15 gallons of gasoline. What is the unit rate for mile 4 per gallon?

The unit rate is miles per gallon.

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, divide the total miles driven by the gallons of gasoline used. In this instance, 355 miles divided by 15 gallons equals 23.67 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the unit rate of miles per gallon for Jack's trip where he drove 355 miles using 15 gallons of gasoline, we use the following steps:

1. Divide the total number of miles driven by the number of gallons used. In this case: 355 miles ÷ 15 gallons.
2. After performing the division, the result will be the fuel economy or average miles per gallon (mpg).

When you conduct the division 355 ÷ 15, you calculate that Jack's car has a fuel economy of 23.67 miles per gallon.
