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

1 answer

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

Miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Total gallons of gas used
Miles per gallon = 700 miles / 20 gallons
Miles per gallon = 35 miles per gallon

Therefore, Mrs. Patel's car used 35 miles per gallon.
