If you can drive your car 540 miles on 26 2/3 gallons of gasoline, how many miles can you drive on one gallon?

540/(26 2/3)

540 / (80/3)
540 * 3/80 = 20 1/4 miles

To find out how many miles you can drive on one gallon of gasoline, you need to divide the total number of miles driven by the total number of gallons used.

In this case, you can drive 540 miles on 26 2/3 gallons of gasoline. To make the calculation easier, we can convert 26 2/3 into a decimal form.

To convert the mixed number 26 2/3 to a decimal, you can multiply the whole number part (26) by the denominator (3), which gives you 78. Then, you add the numerator (2) to get 80. Finally, divide 80 by the denominator (3) to get 26.6667, which is a decimal approximation.

Now that we have the decimal equivalent for 26 2/3, we can proceed with the calculation. Divide the total miles driven (540) by the total gallons used (26.6667) to find out how many miles you can drive on 1 gallon of gasoline.

540 miles / 26.6667 gallons = 20.25 miles per gallon

Therefore, you can drive approximately 20.25 miles on one gallon of gasoline.
