Answer 2

This is a "rate" problem. That word "per" is a sure giveaway. You want to determine the number of miles per gallon that this car will go.

The units of measurement here are "miles per gallon," or miles/gallon.

That practically tells you that you must divide the given number of miles driven by the given number of gallons used on the trip.

Answer 3

I got 30

Answer 4

Answer 5

450 / 15 = 30 mpg

Answer 6

Yes. As welshfella has pointed out, your answer must include "units of measurement," which in this case is "miles per gallon."
