If a car uses 3 gallons to go 75 miles, how many miles per gallon does it get?

To determine how many miles per gallon a car gets, you need to divide the total number of miles driven by the number of gallons used. In this scenario, the car travels 75 miles consuming 3 gallons of fuel.

The calculation for miles per gallon (MPG) is performed as follows:

[

\text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{\text{Total miles}}{\text{Total gallons}}

]

Plugging in the values from the question:

[

\text{Miles per gallon} = \frac{75 \text{ miles}}{3 \text{ gallons}}

]

Carrying out the division:

[

\text{Miles per gallon} = 25

]

Thus, the car achieves 25 miles per gallon. This calculation accurately reflects the relationship between distance traveled and fuel consumption, providing the correct answer you chose.
