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? (1 point)
miles per gallon
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, we divide the number of miles by the number of gallons.
The unit rate is:
330 miles / 15 gallons = 22 miles per gallon
To calculate the unit rate of miles per gallon, you need to divide the total number of miles driven by the total number of gallons used.
The total number of miles driven on a full tank is given as 330 miles.
The total number of gallons in the car's gas tank is 15 gallons.
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, divide the total number of miles driven by the total number of gallons used:
Unit rate = Total miles driven ÷ Total gallons used
= 330 miles ÷ 15 gallons
Calculating this division will give you the unit rate of miles per gallon.
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon Lars gets, we need to divide the total miles driven by the total gallons of gas used.
Given that Lars can drive 330 miles on a full tank of gas and the gas tank capacity is 15 gallons, we can divide the miles by the gallons to get the unit rate.
Unit rate = Total miles / Total gallons
Unit rate = 330 miles / 15 gallons
To simplify the unit rate, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD is 5.
Unit rate = (330 miles / 5) / (15 gallons / 5)
Unit rate = 66 miles / 3 gallons
Therefore, the unit rate of miles per gallon Lars gets is 66 miles per 3 gallons.
