Question

Lonnie used 26.75 gallons of gas to drive his truck 508.25 miles. How many miles per gallon did he get?

Answer 1

19

Explanation:

Converting the words to formulas we want a final ratio (or fraction) of miles and gallons.
We are given both miles and gallons in the statement, so we simply put them into fractional form with dimensions that match our desired units (miles/gallon).

(508.25 miles)/(26.75 gallons) = 19 mpg
