Lars purchases a new SUV. The car has a 15-gallon gas tank. If he can drive 330 miles on a full tank of gas, what is the unit rate of miles per gallon he gets
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, we divide the total miles driven by the total gallons of gas used.
Unit rate of miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Total gallons of gas used
In this case, Lars can drive 330 miles on a full tank of gas, and the car has a 15-gallon gas tank.
So the unit rate of miles per gallon is 330 miles / 15 gallons = 22 miles/gallon. Answer: \boxed{22}.
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon Lars gets, we need to divide the total number of miles he can drive on a full tank of gas (330) by the capacity of the gas tank (15 gallons). The unit rate of miles per gallon can be calculated as:
Miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Gallons of gas used
In this case, the unit rate of miles per gallon Lars gets is:
Miles per gallon = 330 miles / 15 gallons
To find the unit rate, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 15:
Miles per gallon = (330 miles / 15 gallons) / (15 gallons / 15 gallons)
= (330 miles / 15 gallons) / 1
= 330 miles / 15 gallons
Now we can evaluate this expression to get the unit rate:
Miles per gallon = 330 / 15
= 22
Therefore, the unit rate of miles per gallon Lars gets is 22.
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, divide the total number of miles driven by the total number of gallons used.
330 miles / 15 gallons = 22 miles per gallon
Therefore, Lars gets a unit rate of 22 miles per gallon.
