Question

Mr. Anderson drove 420 miles on 27 gallons of gas. Find the mileage per gallon for Mr. Anderson.

Answer 1

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

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

Mileage per gallon = 420 miles / 27 gallons

Mileage per gallon = 15.56 miles/gallon
