Answer:

  a) 48.3 mph

  b) 24.7 mpg

  c) 0.04 gpm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) "per" means "divided by", so "miles per hour" means "miles divided by hours":

  (314 mi)/(6.5 h) = 48.3 mi/h

__

b) (314 mi)/(12.7 gal) = 24.7 mi/gal

__

c) (12.7 gal)/(314 mi) = 0.04 gal/mi

_____

Hopefully, you recognize that gallons per mile is the inverse of miles per gallon:

  1/(24.7 mi/gal) = (1/24.7) gal/mi = 0.04 gal/mi
