Adam’s car traveled 465.3 miles on 16.5 gallons of gas. Which equation can be used to determine the average number of miles that the car traveled on each gallon of gas?
This is a basic rate equation d = rt d = 465.3 t = 16.5 (The rate uses gallons so we can do the same) 465.3 = 16.5r r = 465.3/16.5 = 28.2 miles per gallon
