Question

A.

B.
220 ÷ g
C.
220 + g
D.
220 - g

Answer 1

To find the miles per gallon (mpg) obtained by Shannon's car, you would divide the total miles driven by the number of gallons of gas used. Therefore, the correct expression is:

B. 220 ÷ g

This expression represents the miles per gallon as it calculates how many miles were driven for each gallon of gas used.
