Given:
The cost of gasoline, c=$2.20/gallon.
The car gets x=26 miles per gallon.
The cost to drive each mile if gasoline costs $2.20/gallon is
[tex]\begin{gathered} T=\frac{c}{x} \\ =\frac{\frac{2.20\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ gallon}}}{\frac{26\text{ miles}}{1\text{ gallon}}} \\ =\frac{2.20\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ gallon}}\times\frac{1\text{ gallon}}{26\text{ miles}} \\ =0.08 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the two fractions for obtaining the solution is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2.20\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ gallon}} \\ \frac{1\text{ gallon}}{26\text{ miles}} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The cost in dollars to drive each mile is $0.08 per mile (rounded to nearest cent).
