Answer 1

To find the unit rate of miles per gallon for each vehicle, you'll use the formula:

\[
\text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{\text{Miles traveled}}{\text{Gasoline used}}
\]

Now, let's calculate the miles per gallon for each vehicle:

1. **Sedan:**
- Miles traveled: 63
- Gasoline used: 35
\[
\text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{63}{35} \approx 1.8 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]

2. **Minivan:**
- Miles traveled: 798
- Gasoline used: 42
\[
\text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{798}{42} = 19 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]

3. **Truck:**
- Miles traveled: 864
- Gasoline used: 54
\[
\text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{864}{54} \approx 16 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]

### Summary:
- **Sedan:** 1.8 miles per gallon
- **Minivan:** 19 miles per gallon
- **Truck:** 16 miles per gallon
