A passenger car will go 429 miles on 19.5 gallons of gas in city driving. What is the rate in miles per gallon?
To determine the rate in miles per gallon, you need to divide the total number of miles traveled by the amount of gas consumed. In this case, the car traveled 429 miles on 16.5 gallons of gas.
To get the rate in miles per gallon, you can use the following formula:
Rate = Total miles / Total gallons
Plugging in the values from the problem:
Rate = 429 miles / 16.5 gallons
Now, let's perform the calculation:
Rate = 25.96 miles per gallon
Therefore, the rate in miles per gallon for the passenger car in city driving is approximately 25.96 miles per gallon.
429 miles / 16.5 gallon
= 429/16.5 miles/gallon
I'll let you complete the calculations.
