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
It means you have to find what number equals 36 but multiplying with 2
78 * 3/4 hour,
it is 6 hours
Simple.....
you have
... to change into improper fraction...
1.) Multiply whole number by denominator...
8*8=64
2.) Add the numerator to the number you got...
64+1=65
3.) Use the original denominator...
This, your answer.
