It can travel 27 and one fifth miles on four fifths gallon of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car? Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline?
+36915 B unit rate = 40.5 m / 1.25 gal = 32.4 m/g B can go 32.4 miles on one gallon
R unit rate = 27.2m/ (4/5gal) = 34 m/ gal R cn go 34 miles on one gallon
