Jack drove 33 1/2 miles. He used 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon?
I know that you have to convert 33 1/2 to 66/2 and 1 1/4 to 5/4 and I get 165/4 which converts to 41 1/4. What am I doing wrong?
+37091 First 33 1/2 = 67/2 miles
and 1 1/4 = 5/4 gallons...you got that right
Miles per gallon is m/g 67/2 miles / 5/4 gallons = 67/2 x 4/5 = 268/10 === 26.8 mpg
