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.
