I assume you do not mean gallons per mile.
To find the rate of gallons per mile, we need to divide the number of gallons of gas used by the number of miles driven.
The formula to calculate the rate of gallons per mile is:
Rate (gallons per mile) = Number of gallons of gas used / Number of miles driven
So, in this case, we divide 12.7 gallons by 314 miles:
Rate (gallons per mile) = 12.7 gallons / 314 miles
Let's calculate the answer:
Rate (gallons per mile) = 0.0404 gallons per mile
Therefore, the rate of gallons per mile for Mr. Quark's car is approximately 0.0404 gallons per mile.
