On a recent trip, Mrs. Patel drove 700 miles on 20 gallons of gas. How many miles per gallon did her car use

Answer 1

To find the number of miles per gallon, divide the total miles driven by the number of gallons of gas used.

Miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Number of gallons of gas used

In this case, Mrs. Patel drove 700 miles on 20 gallons of gas.

Miles per gallon = 700 miles / 20 gallons = 35 miles per gallon.

Therefore, her car used 35 miles per gallon.
