Question 935172: a boat travels 32 miles on 4 gallons of fuel. how many miles per half gallons is that

4 gallons of fuel gives 32 miles
1 gallon of fuel gives 32/4 miles
i.e 8 miles
1 gallon gives 8 miles
so half gallon gives 1/2 of 8 miles
= %281%2F2%29%2A8
= 4 miles
Result: 4 miles per half gallon
