Answer 1

33 miles

Explanation:

Given:

A car travels 264 miles on 12 gallon of gas.

We need to find the unit rate in miles per gallon.

Now we write the given rate as a fraction.

`(264\ miles)/(12\ gallons)`

Divide the numerator and denominator by the denominator

`(264\ miles / 8)/(12\ gallons / 8)`

`(33\ miles)/(1\ gallon)`

Therefore, the unit rate is 33 miles per gallon.
