Question

You drove for 636 miles on 26.5 gallons of gas. How many miles per gallon did you get?

Answer 1

We want to figure out the miles per gallon (mpg) of the car.

We have to divide total miles traveled by the total amount of gallons of gas needed.

Now,

total miles = 636

total gallons = 26.5

Miles Per Gallon (mpg):

`(636)/(26.5)=24`

Answer:

24 miles per gallon of gas
