Let's see what happens after ONE HOUR of traveling.
In ONE hour, the boat will travel 32 miles and will use 24 gallons of fuel
So, the fuel consumption rate is 32 miles per 24 gallons
Or we can write: fuel consumption rate = 32/24 miles/gallon
32/24 = 4/3
So, the fuel consumption rate = 4/3 miles per gallon
Answer: D
