Valerie buys a new car. She can drive 288 miles on a full tank of gas. If her car holds 16 gallons of gasoline, what is the unit rate of miles per gallon?(1 point)
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, we need to divide the total number of miles Valerie can drive by the number of gallons her car tank can hold.
The unit rate of miles per gallon is: $\frac{288}{16}=\boxed{18}$ miles per gallon.
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, we can divide the total number of miles by the number of gallons.
First, divide the total number of miles by the number of gallons:
288 miles ÷ 16 gallons = 18 miles/gallon.
Therefore, the unit rate of miles per gallon is 18 miles/gallon.
To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, we need to divide the number of miles by the number of gallons.
In this case, Valerie's car can drive 288 miles on a full tank of gas, and the tank holds 16 gallons of gasoline.
Therefore, the unit rate of miles per gallon is calculated by dividing 288 miles by 16 gallons:
Unit rate = 288 miles ÷ 16 gallons.
To get the answer, let's divide 288 by 16:
Unit rate = 18 miles per gallon.
Thus, the unit rate of Valerie's car is 18 miles per gallon.
