write the ratio of the two measurements in the unit indicated (unit rate)

Question

a car traveled 300 miles on 15 gallons of gas

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of miles per gallon for the car, you would divide the total miles traveled by the total gallons of gas used.

Given:

• Distance traveled = 300 miles
• Gallons of gas used = 15 gallons

Unit rate = Distance / Gallons = 300 miles / 15 gallons = 20 miles per gallon.

Therefore, the ratio of the two measurements is 20 miles per gallon.
