kara’s family is thinking about renting a van that can travel 3 3/4 miles on 1/5 gallon of gas. Kara wants to know the gas mileage of the van.

Answer:
[tex] \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{15}{4}} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Miles a van travel = [tex] 3\frac{3}{4} [/tex] miles
Gallons of gas required = [tex] \frac{1}{5} [/tex] gallon of gas
Required:
Unit rate in gallons per mile
SOLUTION:
Unit rate in gallons per mile = (gallons of gas)/miles
Unit rate = [tex] \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{3\frac{3}{4}} [/tex]
Unit rate = [tex] \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{15}{4}} [/tex]
The fraction that represents the unit rate in gallons per mile = [tex] \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{15}{4}} [/tex]
Answer:
7/2 and 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Look for the fraction that has the number of miles in the numerator and the number of gallons in the denominator
