The word per indicates division.

26.2mpg

Practice makes perfect

To find the gas mileage for the car, we need to divide the distance driven by the amount of gas used. Gas mileage=Distance driven/Gas used Let's use this equation and the fact that we drove 1244.5 miles and used 47.5 gallons of gas.

Gas mileage=1244.5/47.5

Use a calculator

Gas mileage=26.2

The car's gas mileage is 26.2 miles per the gallon.
