Question
Mr. Anderson drove 522 miles to his brother's house in Ohio on 15.35 gallons of gas. Find the mileage per gallon for Mr. Anderson. (6.RP.2.c)

Answer 1

To find the mileage per gallon for Mr. Anderson, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Mileage per gallon} = \frac{\text{Total miles driven}}{\text{Total gallons of gas used}}
\]

In this case, Mr. Anderson drove 522 miles on 15.35 gallons of gas. Plugging in these values:

\[
\text{Mileage per gallon} = \frac{522 \text{ miles}}{15.35 \text{ gallons}} \approx 34.0 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]

Therefore, Mr. Anderson's mileage is approximately **34.0 miles per gallon**.
