A vehicle uses 1 tablespoon if gasoline to drive 125 yards. How many miles can the vehicle travel per gallon?

1 US gallon = 256 US tablespoons

1 mile = 1760 yards

I think you can take it from there.

no i am stuck on how to figure this out

.15

The answer is 18

To find how many miles a vehicle can travel per gallon, we need to convert the given distance and fuel consumption to the same units.

First, let's convert the distance from yards to miles. Since 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards, we can divide 125 yards by 1760 to get the distance in miles.

125 yards ÷ 1760 yards/mile = 0.0710 miles

Now, let's convert the fuel consumption from tablespoons to gallons. Since 1 gallon is equal to 256 tablespoons, we can divide 1 tablespoon by 256 to get the fuel consumption in gallons.

1 tablespoon ÷ 256 tablespoons/gallon = 0.0039 gallons

Now that we have the distance in miles and the fuel consumption in gallons, we can calculate the number of miles the vehicle can travel per gallon.

Distance per gallon = Miles ÷ Gallons
Distance per gallon = 0.0710 miles ÷ 0.0039 gallons ≈ 18.21 miles/gallon

Therefore, the vehicle can travel approximately 18.21 miles per gallon.
