Find the unit cost (that is, the number of miles per gallon of gas) in each case.

Case 1:

290 mi

------------- = 12.5 mpg

23.2 gal


Case 2:

225 mi

------------ = 15 mpg

15 gal


Kehinde's car got the better mileage:  15 mpg versus 12.5 for Femi's car.

to find miles per gallon we simply do D/G

D = distance

G = gallons

290/23.2 = 12.5 mpg

225/15 = 15 mpg

Kehinde has better gas mileage.
