The equivalent unit rate for 15 miles per gallon is 60 miles per 4 gallons ([tex]\frac{60 miles}{4 gallons}[/tex]) , this answer mentioned in the option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is,
15 miles per gallon
Step:1
From given, the rate is
= 15 miles per gallon
= [tex]\frac{15}{1}[/tex] = 15 miles.........................(1)
Step:2
Check for Option A,
= 30 miles per 3 gallons
= [tex]\frac{30}{3}[/tex] = 10 miles.....................(2)
From the eqn (1) and (2),
Eqn (1) ≠ Eqn (2)
Step:3
Check for Option B and C are not match with given because, Miles provided first or top then the gallons provided the last or bottom.
Step:4
Check for Option D,
= 60 miles per 4 gallons
= [tex]\frac{60}{4}[/tex] = 15 miles.........................(3)
From the eqn (1) and (3),
Eqn (1) ≠ Eqn (3)
Result:
The equivalent unit rate for 15 miles per gallon is 60 miles per 4 gallons ([tex]\frac{60 miles}{4 gallons}[/tex]) .
