Question

Battery box new car she can drive 288 Mi 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

To find the unit rate of miles per gallon (mpg), you can divide the total miles driven by the total gallons of gasoline the car holds.

In this case:

- Total miles = 288 miles
- Total gallons = 16 gallons

Now, divide the total miles by the total gallons:

\[
\text{Unit rate (miles per gallon)} = \frac{\text{Total miles}}{\text{Total gallons}} = \frac{288 \text{ miles}}{16 \text{ gallons}} = 18 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]

So, the unit rate is **18 miles per gallon**.
