Based on the miles that each car can travel on, the unit rate of miles per gallon for each car is:

  • Blue car -  30.8 miles per gallon
  • Red car -  5.5 miles per gallon

The car that can therefore travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline is the Blue car.

What is the unit rate for the miles per gallon?

The blue car can travel 38.5 miles on 1.25 gallons of gasoline. The unit rate is:
= 38.5 / 1.25

= 30.8 miles per gallon

The red car can travel 22/5 miles on 0.80 gallons of gasoline so the unit rate is:

= 22/5 ÷ 0.80

= 5.5 miles per gallon

The blue car can therefore travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline.
