To find out how many miles Malik's car can go on one gallon of gas, we need to first figure out how many miles it can go on (1/48) of a gallon.
Since (1/48) of a gallon is used to travel one fourth of a mile, we can set up a proportion:
(1/48) gallons : 1/4 mile = 1 gallon : x miles
Cross multiplying, we get:
(1/48) * x = 1 * 1/4
x/48 = 1/4
x = 48/4
x = 12
Therefore, Malik's car can go 12 miles on one gallon of gas.
