Answer:

  30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this context, "per" means "divided by", so to find miles per gallon, divide miles by gallons:

  (56 1/4 mi)/(1 7/8 gal) = 30 mi/gal

The vehicle can travel 30 miles per gallon of gas.

_____

My calculator divides mixed numbers directly, as many graphing calculators do. If you're working this out by hand, you can convert to improper fractions, then multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator.

  (56 1/4)/(1 7/8) = (225/4)/(15/8)

  = (225/4)·(8/15) = (225/15)·(8/4)

  = 15·2 = 30

Use The Scale Factor 1:12 To Find The Missing Dimension
adell [148]

Answer:

The length of the model is 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The scale factor

\frac{1}{12}

That means

1 unit in the model represent 12 units in the actual

1 inch in the model represent 12 inches in the actual

Remember that

1\ ft=12\ in

so

1 inch in the model represent 1 ft in the actual

The scale factor is

\frac{1}{1}\ \frac{in}{ft}

therefore

21 ft in the actual represent 21 inches in the model
