Question

Answer 1

38 miles

Explanation:

Set up your division: 456 / 12

456 divided by 12 is 38

So, Jodi's car travels at 38 miles per gallon of gas.

Answer 2

To find the number of miles Jodi's car traveled per gallon of gas, we need to divide the distance traveled by the amount of gas used:

miles per gallon = distance traveled / amount of gas used

distance traveled = 456 miles

amount of gas used = 12 gallons

miles per gallon = 456 miles / 12 gallons

miles per gallon = 38 miles/gallon

Therefore, Jodi's car traveled 38 miles per gallon of gas.
