(Simplify your answer. Type an integer, fraction, or mixed number.)

Answer 1

The answer is 34.8 miles per gallon. You find this by dividing 43.5 by 1.25, giving you 34.8. That will give you the answer.

Answer 2

It's simply 43/14 or 3.07142857143 Miles per gallon

Explanation:

Simplified to the nearest tenth that would be 3.1 miles per gallon

Note the question you asked says 43 1/2 miles and used 1 1/2 gallons in that case it would be 87/8 or 10.875 miles per gallon
