You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 41 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. Another car is red. It can travel 24 4/5 miles on 4/5 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?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

The "unit rate" of interest is "miles per gallon." It is found by dividing miles by gallons.

  blue car: (41.5 mi)/(1.25 gal) = 33.2 mi/gal

  red car: (24.8 mi)/(0.8 gal) = 31.0 mi/gal

  blue car can travel farther on 1 gallon of gas
