To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, we need to divide the total number of miles driven by the total number of gallons consumed.
Total miles driven = 288 miles
Total gallons consumed = 16 gallons
Unit rate of miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Total gallons consumed = 288 miles / 16 gallons
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Unit rate of miles per gallon = 18 miles/gallon
Therefore, the unit rate of miles per gallon is 18 miles per gallon.
