To find the unit rate of miles per gallon, you divide the total miles traveled by the total gallons of fuel used.

Here’s the calculation:

1. Total miles = 132 miles
2. Total gallons = 12 gallons

Now, divide the miles by the gallons:

[

text{Unit rate} = frac{132 text{ miles}}{12 text{ gallons}}

]

Calculating this gives:

[

text{Unit rate} = 11 text{ miles per gallon}

]

So, the unit rate is 11 miles per gallon.
