Which car gives the better gasoline mileage in making the same trip: the car that goes 340 miles on 10 gallon of gasoline or the car that goes 500 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline?
340 miles/10 gal = 34 mpg.
500 mile/15 gal = ??
Which gives the higher mpg?
the car that goes 340 miles on 10 gallons
right.
To determine which car gives better gasoline mileage, we can calculate the mileage (miles per gallon) of each car. The car with the higher mileage is considered to have better fuel efficiency.
First, we'll calculate the mileage for the car that goes 340 miles on 10 gallons of gasoline:
Mileage = Distance / Fuel
Mileage = 340 miles / 10 gallons
Mileage = 34 miles per gallon
Next, we'll calculate the mileage for the car that goes 500 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline:
Mileage = Distance / Fuel
Mileage = 500 miles / 15 gallons
Mileage = 33.33 miles per gallon (rounded to two decimal places)
Comparing the two mileages, we find that the car that goes 340 miles on 10 gallons of gasoline has a higher mileage of 34 miles per gallon, while the car that goes 500 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline has a mileage of 33.33 miles per gallon. Therefore, the car that goes 340 miles on 10 gallons of gasoline has better gasoline mileage for making the same trip.
