To find the number of miles per gallon the Paddock family were able to get, we can use the five-step thinking plan:

Step 1: Understand the problem
The problem is asking for the number of miles per gallon the Paddock family were able to get.

Step 2: Plan
To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of miles driven (360 miles) by the number of gallons of gas used (20 gallons).

Step 3: Solve
Divide 360 miles by 20 gallons:
360 miles / 20 gallons = 18 miles per gallon

Step 4: Check
To check our answer, we can multiply the number of miles per gallon (18) by the number of gallons used (20) and see if we get the total number of miles driven (360 miles):
18 miles per gallon * 20 gallons = 360 miles

Step 5: Answer
The Paddock family was able to get 18 miles per gallon.

Step 1: Identify what information is given in the problem. The problem states that the Paddock family drove 360 miles on a full tank of gasoline. It also states that their gas tank holds 20 gallons of gas.

Step 2: Determine what the problem is asking you to find. The problem asks how many miles per gallon the Paddock family were able to get.

Step 3: Set up the equation to solve the problem. To find miles per gallon, we divide the total number of miles driven by the number of gallons of gas used. The equation is:

Miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Gallons of gas used

In this case, the total miles driven is 360 miles and the number of gallons of gas used is 20 gallons. Therefore, the equation becomes:

Miles per gallon = 360 miles / 20 gallons

Step 4: Solve the equation. To find the answer, divide 360 by 20:

Miles per gallon = 360 / 20 = 18 miles per gallon

Step 5: Write down the final answer. The Paddock family was able to get 18 miles per gallon.

To solve this problem, we can use the five-step thinking plan, which involves identifying the problem, gathering information, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and evaluating the result.

1. Identify the problem: The problem is to determine the number of miles per gallon the Paddock family was able to get with their full tank of gas.

2. Gather information: We are given that the Paddock family drove 360 miles on a full tank of gasoline, and their gas tank holds 20 gallons of gas.

3. Devise a plan: To find the miles per gallon, we need to divide the total number of miles driven by the number of gallons of gas used.

4. Carry out the plan: Divide the total number of miles driven (360) by the number of gallons of gas used (20).

Miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Gallons of gas used
= 360 miles / 20 gallons
= 18 miles per gallon

5. Evaluate the result: The Paddock family was able to get 18 miles per gallon.

Therefore, the correct answer is 18 miles per gallon.
