Answer 1

To find the mileage per gallon, we divide the total miles driven by the total gallons of gas used:

Mileage per gallon = Total miles driven / Total gallons of gas used

In this case, Mr. Gladden drove 548 miles on 15.22 gallons of gas:

Mileage per gallon = 548 miles / 15.22 gallons

Calculating this gives us approximately 36.01 mpg.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

36.01 mpg.
