Answer:

The rate is 24 miles per 1 gallon

Explanation:

If 9 gallons = 216 miles, divide both sides by 9

so 1 gallons is 24 miles

The rate should be 24 miles per 1 gallon

Remember: Rate equals distance divided by time

(r=d/t)

Answer:

24 miles per gallon

Explanation:

To find the rate of miles per gallon divide the miles (216) by the gallons (9). 216/9 is 24. So the answer is 24 miles per gallon.

*Miles per gallon is underlined because it gives a hint on how to solve this. Miles per (divide) gallon.

Hope it helps!
