Answer 1

To find the vehicle's consumption rate in miles per gallon (mpg), you divide the number of miles driven by the number of gallons used.

Given:
- Miles driven = 90 miles
- Gallons used = 4 gallons

Calculation:
\[ \text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{\text{Miles driven}}{\text{Gallons used}} = \frac{90 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ gallons}} = 22.5 \text{ miles per gallon} \]

So, the correct response is:
**22.5 miles per gallon**.
