Suppose your car gets 26 miles per gallon of gasoline, and you are driving at 50 miles per hour. Using unit analyses find the number of hours it takes to use 1 gallon of gas

the number of miles per gallon of gasoline that a vehicle averages varies inversely as the average speed the car travels. a vehicle gets 16 miles per gallon at 53 mph. how many miles per gallon will it get at 62 mph.
