you want miles/gal, so divide the values with their units:
682mi/22gal = 31 mi/gal
682mi/22gal = 31 mi/gal
The unit rate is a ratio that compares two different units of measurement. In this case, we want to compare the number of miles to the number of gallons of gas. The unit rate tells us how many miles can be driven per gallon of gas.
To get the unit rate, divide the total number of miles by the total number of gallons of gas used:
Unit rate = Total miles / Total gallons
Given that 22 gallons of gas can go 682 miles, we can calculate the unit rate as follows:
Unit rate = 682 miles / 22 gallons
To simplify the unit rate, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, the greatest common divisor of 682 and 22 is 2.
Unit rate = (682 miles ÷ 2) / (22 gallons ÷ 2)
= 341 miles / 11 gallons
Therefore, the unit rate for 22 gallons of gas to go 682 miles is 31 miles per gallon (341 miles ÷ 11 gallons).
