Answer 1

make your answer a mixed number

Answer 2

First, let's set up a double number line:

fractions of a gallon: 1/48
1
miles: 1/4

Now, let's fill in the given values:
fractions of a gallon: 1/48
1
miles: 1/4 1

To find out how many miles the car can go on one gallon of gas, we need to find the equivalent of 1 gallon on the fractions of a gallon side of the number line. To do this, we need to multiply both sides of the fractions of a gallon double number line by 48:

fractions of a gallon: 1/48 x 48 = 1
1 x 48 = 48
miles: 1/4 1

So, the car can go 48 miles on one gallon of gas.

Therefore, the car can go 48 miles on one gallon of gas.

The car can go 48 miles on one gallon of gas, which can also be written as 48 0/4 miles. This simplifies to 48 miles as a mixed number.
