Given the statement:

Determine how much gas will he need to drive 738 miles.
Solution:
In order to determine how much gas, will Mr. Hansons need to drive 738 mile, we simply need to determine the unit rate of miles per 1 gallon. To do so, divide 432 by 6.

Now divide 738 miles by 72 to determine the gallons needed.
= (738 miles)/72 miles per gallon
