Question

Tom used 12 gallons of gas to drive 240 miles in 4 hours. Assume he was driving at a steady rate. How fast was he driving, in miles per hour?
What was his gas mileage, in miles per gallon?

Answer 1

Speed is how fast he was driving which is mile/hr
In this case he drove 240 miles per 4 hours
Speed =240 miles/4 hours = 60 miles/ hour

Answer 2

Gas mileage is miles per gallon
Gas mileage = 240 miles /12 gallons = 20 miles / gallon
