Question

HELP!

Jack drove 278.2 miles on 19.6 gallons of gasoline. About how many miles did he drive per gallon of gasoline?

(Round your answer to the nearest WHOLE amount of miles. Whole = ones place)

Answer 1

`14\ (miles)/(gallon)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the unit rate (number of miles per gallon of gasoline) divide the total miles driven by the total gallons of gasoline used

so

`(278.2)/(19.6)\ (miles)/(gallons)=14.19\ (miles)/(gallon)`

Round to the nearest WHOLE amount of miles

`14.19\ (miles)/(gallon)=14\ (miles)/(gallon)`
