Unit rate of blue car is 35.6 miles/gallon and unit rate of red car is 36 miles/gallon. The red car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline.
Explanation
Unit rate for each car can be calculated using the below formula...
Unit rate = (Distance traveled) / (Amount of gasoline)
For Blue car, distance traveled and amount of gasoline
So, the unit rate for blue car = ÷ = × = miles/gallon
Now for Red car, distance traveled and amount of gasoline
So, the unit rate for red car = ÷ = × = miles/gallon
As the unit rate for red car is greater than the blue car, that means the Red car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline.
