Lars purchases a new suv the car has a 15 gallon tank if he can drive 330 miles on a full tank of gas what is the unit rate of miles per gallon he gets

1 answer

To find the unit rate of miles per gallon that Lars gets, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Miles per Gallon (mpg)} = \frac{\text{Total Miles}}{\text{Total Gallons}} \]

In this case, Lars drives 330 miles on a full tank of gas, which has a capacity of 15 gallons. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{mpg} = \frac{330 \text{ miles}}{15 \text{ gallons}} \]

Now, calculate the value:

\[ \text{mpg} = 22 \text{ miles per gallon} \]

So, Lars gets 22 miles per gallon.
