Question

A car used 1/32 of a gallon of gas to drive ¼ of a mile. At this rate, how many miles can the car travel using 1 gallon of gas?

Answer 1

• 1/32 gallon used to cover 1/4mile

1gallon will be used

• 1/4÷1/32
• 1/4×32
• 1(8)
• 8mi

Answer 2

8 miles using 1 gallon of gas

`\sf (1)/(32) \ gallon \ gas \rightarrow (1)/(4) \ mile`

`\sf 1\ gallon \ gas \rightarrow ((1)/(4))/((1)/(32)) \ mile`

`\sf 1\ gallon \ gas \rightarrow (0.25)/(0.03125) \ mile`

`\sf 1\ gallon \ gas \rightarrow 8 \ mile`
