Answer:
a) 48.3 mph
b) 24.7 mpg
c) 0.04 gpm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) "per" means "divided by", so "miles per hour" means "miles divided by hours":
(314 mi)/(6.5 h) = 48.3 mi/h
__
b) (314 mi)/(12.7 gal) = 24.7 mi/gal
__
c) (12.7 gal)/(314 mi) = 0.04 gal/mi
_____
Hopefully, you recognize that gallons per mile is the inverse of miles per gallon:
1/(24.7 mi/gal) = (1/24.7) gal/mi = 0.04 gal/mi
