You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sandra drove for 234.8 miles and used 12.6 gallons of gas. Estimate the number of miles Sandra’s car gets per gallon. Can you help me please??
----------------
If you keep the units with the numbers, it's easy to see. What you want to find is miles per gallon, or miles/gallons.
The miles is 234.8, the gallons is 12.6
So, 234.8 miles/12.6 gallons = 234.8/12.6 (miles/gallons)
= 18.635... mpg
Not great gas mileage, but maybe it was uphill.
