B There were more gallons in the tank at 70 km in the jeep than in the van.There were more gallons in the tank at 70 km in the jeep than in the van.
C There were less gallons in the tank at 70 km in the jeep than in the van.There were less gallons in the tank at 70 km in the jeep than in the van.
D There were 5 gallons in the tank at 70 km for both the jeep and the van.

explain your answer

B. Based on the graph, it appears that at 70 km driven, the jeep had more gallons in the tank compared to the van. This can be seen by following the lines representing the jeep and the van at the 70 km mark and noticing that the line for the jeep is higher on the y-axis compared to the van. This indicates that the jeep had more gallons in the tank at 70 km compared to the van.

so whats the answer

B. There were more gallons in the tank at 70 km in the jeep than in the van.
