Thank you.

Tom drove 290 miles from his college to home and used 23.2 gallons of gasoline. His sister, Ann, drove 225 miles from her college and used 15 gallons of gasoline. Whose vehicle had better gas mileage? Justify your answer.

290/23.2=12.5 MPG for Tom.
225/15=15 MPG for Ann.
Ann's car wins the MPG contest.
