Question

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

Answer 1

Multiply by 1.

\(\dfrac{1\;tablespoon}{125\;yds}\cdot\dfrac{1\;cup}{16\;tablespoon}\cdot\dfrac{1\;yd}{3\;ft}\cdot...\)

Find more factors that equal one (1) and multiply by them until you get the units you want.

2 cups = 1 pint
2 pints = 1 quart
4 quarts = 1 gallon
5280 ft = 1 mile

You'll need them all unless youhappen to remember some other conversions that will get you there.
