Question

Lily's car used 6 gallons of gas to drive 237 miles. At what rate does her car use gas in miles per gallon? Express your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

39.5 miles/gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 gallons of gas used to drive 237 miles

The rate of her car uses gas in miles per gallon =

$\frac{237 miles}{6 gallons} = \frac{237}{6} = 39.5 \ miles/gallons$

Which mean the car will consume 1 gallon for each 39.5 miles.
