The proportional relationship between the gallons of gasoline used by Abigail, g, and the total number of miles she drives, m, can be represented by the equation m, equals, 35, point, 2, gm=35.2g. What is the rate of gas usage, in miles per gallon?

Answer 1

To find the rate of gas usage in miles per gallon, we need to solve the equation for g in terms of m. Rearranging the equation, we get:

35.2g = m

Dividing both sides by 35.2, we get:

g = m/35.2

Thus, the rate of gas usage is 1 gallon per 35.2 miles.
