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
