    See below in bold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Blue car: unit rate = miles / gallons used = 36 1/2 / 1 1/4

    = 73/2 / 5/4

    = 73/2 * 4/5

    = 73*2/5

    = 29.2 mi/gal.

    Red car: Unit rate = 20 4/5 / 4/5

    = 104/5 * 5/4

    = 104/4

    = 26 mi/gal.

    The blue car travels the greater distance on 1 gallon of gas.
