To solve this problem, you need to divide the distance Ed's car can travel (93.5 miles) by the amount of gas it takes (4.25 gallons).
The operation you need to use is division.
Divide 93.5 miles by 4.25 gallons to find out how far the car can travel on 1 gallon of gas:
93.5 miles รท 4.25 gallons = 22 miles per gallon (rounded to the nearest mile).
Therefore, the car can travel approximately 22 miles on 1 gallon of gas.
