Answer 1

Answer:

33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A car travels 264 miles on 12 gallon of gas.

We need to find the unit rate in miles per gallon.

Now we write the given rate as a fraction.

$\frac{264\ miles}{12\ gallons}$

Divide the numerator and denominator by the denominator

$\frac{264\ miles / 8}{12\ gallons / 8}$

$\frac{33\ miles}{1\ gallon}$

Therefore, the unit rate is 33 miles per gallon.
