per gallon means per every one gallon. Let the number of miles be x:
\n" ); document.write( "1 gallon = x miles
\n" ); document.write( "22 = 424
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F22+=+x%2F424\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+%2A+424+=+22x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "now solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"22x+=+424\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+424%2F22\"$ Use your calculator, divide to get your answer
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
