Question

Jesse drove with his car 18 2/5 miles with 4/5 gallon of gas. At that rate, what’s the miles per gallon rate?

Answer 1

Given:

`18(2)/(5)\text{ = }(92)/(5)\text{ miles}`

to 4/5 gallon of gas.

To find the rate, we have 92/5 divided by 4/5; then:

`(92)/(5)/(4)/(5)\text{ = }(92)/(4)=23\text{ miles per gallon}`
