Question

Val 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

The unit rate of miles per gallon can be found by dividing the number of miles by the number of gallons. Therefore, the unit rate is 288 miles / 16 gallons = <<288/16=18>>18 miles per gallon. Answer: \boxed{18}.
