sixty miles over four gallons

Answer: Fourth option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

thirty miles over three gallons  

Unit rate would be \(\dfrac{30}{3}=10\) miles per gallon.

three gallons over thirty miles  

Unit rate would be \(\dfrac{3}{30}=0.1\) miles per gallon.

four gallons over sixty miles  

Unit rate would be \(\dfrac{4}{60}=0.67\) miles per gallon.

sixty miles over four gallons

Unit rate would be \(\dfrac{60}{4}=15\) miles per gallon.

Hence, Fourth option is correct.
