Valerie buys a new car. She can drive 288 miles on a full tank of gas. If her car holds 16 gallons of gasoline, what is the unit rate of miles per gallon

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, we divide the total number of miles (288) by the total number of gallons (16):

288 miles / 16 gallons = <<288/16=18>>18 miles per gallon

Therefore, the unit rate of miles per gallon is 18. Answer: \boxed{18}.
