Mr. quark drove his car 314 miles in 6.5 hours. He used 12.7 gallons of gas. Find these rates

314/6.5 = ____ miles per hour

314/12.7 = ______miles per gallon

what is the answer?

You need to divide the numbers to get the answer.

To find the rates, we need to calculate the rate of car travel and the rate of gas consumption.

The rate of car travel, also known as the speed or velocity, is usually measured in miles per hour (mph). It can be found by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Rate of car travel = Total distance traveled / Total time taken

In this case, the total distance traveled is 314 miles and the total time taken is 6.5 hours.

Rate of car travel = 314 miles / 6.5 hours

Calculating the above division will give us the rate of car travel.

Next, let's find the rate of gas consumption, usually measured in miles per gallon (mpg). It can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total amount of gas used.

Rate of gas consumption = Total distance traveled / Total amount of gas used

In this case, the total distance traveled is 314 miles and the total amount of gas used is 12.7 gallons.

Rate of gas consumption = 314 miles / 12.7 gallons

Calculating the above division will give us the rate of gas consumption.

Now, you can plug in the values and perform the calculations to find the rates.
