20 miles per gallon
The correct answer is 22.5 miles per gallon.
To find the vehicle's consumption rate in miles per gallon, we need to divide the number of miles driven by the number of gallons of gasoline used.
Given:
- Number of miles driven: 90 miles
- Number of gallons of gasoline used: 4 gallons
Therefore, the consumption rate is:
4/90 miles per gallon
To find the vehicle's consumption rate in miles per gallon, we need to divide the total distance traveled (in miles) by the amount of gasoline used (in gallons).
In this case, the driver drove 90 miles and used 4 gallons of gasoline.
So, the consumption rate would be calculated as 90 miles divided by 4 gallons.
Thus, the vehicle's consumption rate is 22.5 miles per gallon.
