Sagot :

512 = 16
x = 1

16x = 512
x = 512 ÷ 16
x = 32

Answer: 32 miles per gallon (B)

50 = 117.50
1 = x

50x = 117.50
x = 117.50 ÷ 50
x = 2.35

Answer: $2.35 per pound (C)
To find the miles per gallon, you've got to divide the larger number (512) by 16, and this gives you 32. Therefore, the car is 32 miles to e gallon. You've also got to do this for the second one, and in this case, you've got to divide $117.50 by 50, and this gives you 2.35, which means that a pound of dog food costs $2.35 Hope this helps :)
