miles driven to gasoline used : 308 : 11 or 308/11 gasoline used to miles driven : 11 : 308 or 11/308 You have to pay attention to the wording. Like the first one...miles is written first, so you have to put the number for miles first. The second one...gasoline is written first, so the number for gasoline comes first.
