547 mi / 19 gal = 28.8 miles per gallon.
The idea is to divide the number of miles by the number of gallons. That gives you a certain number of "miles per gallons".
The average rate of movement, for example the number of feet traveled in a certain number of seconds, or the number of miles traveled in a certain length of time.
Not enough information. Basically, you need to divide the number of miles by the number of gallons.
mpg means "miles per gallon" which is calculated as the distance travelled in miles divided by the fuel used in gallons. mpg = miles/gallons → mpg × gallons = miles → gallons = miles/mpg ie if you know the average mpg for your vehicle over a distance (in miles), then the amount of fuel used (in gallons) can be calculated by dividing the distance by the (average) mpg.
The average rate of movement, for example the number of feet traveled in a certain number of seconds, or the number of miles traveled in a certain length of time.
Me? 109 miles/27 = 4.037 gallons ============== That is an average.
You can divide the number of miles by the number of gallons, to get miles per gallon.Or you can divide the other way (the number of gallons by the number of miles), to get gallons per mile. Each of the above will be a unit rate, but in this particular case, it is more common to calculate miles per gallon.
You first need to know what your average speed is to determine how many miles have been traveled

It is about 1000 miles between the two cities. You need to take the 1000 distance and divide it by your highway miles per gallon average - this will give you the number of gallons of gas it will take to drive between the 2 cities. Then divide the number of gallons by the size of your gas tank in gallons. Here is an example: 1000 miles divided by 20 miles per gallon = 50 gallons of gas. 50 gallons divided by a 10 gallon fuel tank = 5 tanks of gas.
Divide the number of miles travelled by the number of gallons of gasoline used.
First, you need to know the fuel economy of your vehicle when not pulling a trailer. You find this out by filling up the tank, then driving a certain number of miles, then filling up again. Then divide (miles driven)/(gallons). For example, say you drove 100 miles, and on the second fillup, you needed to put 5 gallons in. (100 miles)/(5 gallons) = 20 miles per gallon. Call this MPG1. Next, you need to determine the Miles Per Gallon, while pulling the trailer. You perform the same experiment while pulling the trailer. Suppose you drove 100 miles and then needed 6.25 gallons to fill up. This is 16 miles per gallon. Call this MPGt. To find the additional gallons needed to travel with the trailer vs. without the trailer, multiply the miles that you will drive by (1/MPGt - 1/MPG1). Then multiply the average price per gallon by the number of additional gallons that you will need, to get the cost for that trip. So in our example (1/16 - 1/20) = 1/80 (gallons per mile).
