Valerie buys a new car. She can drive 288 miles on a full tank of gas. If her car holds 16 gallons of gasoline, what is the unit rate of miles per gal

Answer 1

The unit rate of miles per gallon can be found by dividing the total miles driven by the total amount of gasoline used.

Valerie can drive 288 miles on a full tank of gas, which is equivalent to 16 gallons of gasoline.

So, the unit rate of miles per gallon is given by:

288 miles / 16 gallons = 18 miles per gallon.

Therefore, the unit rate of miles per gallon is 18 miles per gallon.
