Answer:

0.125 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 200 gallons used the freight train has traveled 25 miles. This means that we need to divide both sides by 200 to get a singular gallon's worth of miles traveled. 200/200 is 1, and 25/200 is 0.125.

IF it were how many gallons per mile, you would divide both answers by 25 resulting in 8 gallons per mile.
