Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]23\frac{2}{3}\ mi/gal[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The gas mileage is the number of miles you can drive on one gallon of gas

so

to find out the gas mileage, divide the total miles by the total gallons of gas

[tex]\frac{(71/2)}{(3/2)}=\frac{71}{3}\ mi/gal[/tex]

Convert to mixed number

[tex]\frac{71}{3}\ mi/gal=\frac{69}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=23\frac{2}{3}\ mi/gal[/tex]
