A vehicle uses 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline to travel 14 1/2 miles. At this rate, how many miles can the vehicle travel per gallon of gasoline?

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/4 = 1.25

14 1/2 = 14.5

1.25 gallons is needed to travel 14.5 miles ...

14.5 / 1.25 = 11.6 (or 11 3/5) miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

A vehicle uses 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline to travel 14 1/2 miles.

I. e

5/4 gallon of gasoline for 29/2miles

1 gallon of gasoline = 29/2 : 5/4miles

= 29/2 * 4/5miles

= (29*2) / 5 miles

= 58/5miles

= 11 3/5 miles
