Answer:

  • blue: 36.4 mpg
  • red: 29.5 mpg
  • blue goes farther on 1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

You find miles per gallon by dividing miles by gallons. ("Per" essentially means "divided by.")

blue

  (45.5 mi)/(1.25 gal) = 36.4 mpg

red

  (23.6 mi)/(0.8 gal) = 29.5 mpg

__

"Miles per gallon" is the number of miles traveled on one gallon. The blue car can travel a greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline.
