Answer 2

Answer:

28.4

Step-by-step explanation:

35 1/2 miles over 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. 1 1/4 converted into an improper fraction is 5/4, so you multiply the numerator and denominator by 5/4. You need to multiply by 5/4 because you need to get to miles per gallon, which equals to 1. (A fraction multiplied by its reciprocal will always equal 1) once you've multiplied the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal, your answer will be 28.4 - hope this helped!
