(1 point)
Gabi can go
more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
To determine the number of more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses gas from Good Gas, we need to compare the miles driven per gallon for both brands.
For Go Gas:
- 5.5 gallons of gas = 170.5 miles driven (miles per gallon = 170.5 / 5.5 = 31 miles/gallon)
- 10.2 gallons of gas = 316.2 miles driven (miles per gallon = 316.2 / 10.2 = 31 miles/gallon)
- 12.0 gallons of gas = 372.0 miles driven (miles per gallon = 372.0 / 12.0 = 31 miles/gallon)
- 14.5 gallons of gas = 449.5 miles driven (miles per gallon = 449.5 / 14.5 = 31 miles/gallon)
For Good Gas:
- 3.75 gallons of gas = 127.5 miles driven (miles per gallon = 127.5 / 3.75 = 34 miles/gallon)
- 9.4 gallons of gas = 319.6 miles driven (miles per gallon = 319.6 / 9.4 = 34 miles/gallon)
- 12.6 gallons of gas = 428.4 miles driven (miles per gallon = 428.4 / 12.6 = 34 miles/gallon)
- 16.0 gallons of gas = 544.0 miles driven (miles per gallon = 544.0 / 16.0 = 34 miles/gallon)
Comparing the miles per gallon for both brands, we can see that Gabi can go 3 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
To determine how many more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car, we need to compare the number of miles driven per gallon of gas for the two brands.
From the table, we can see that for Go Gas, the number of miles driven for each gallon of gas is as follows:
5.5 gallons of gas = 170.5 miles
10.2 gallons of gas = 316.2 miles
12.0 gallons of gas = 372.0 miles
14.5 gallons of gas = 449.5 miles
And for Good Gas, the number of miles driven for each gallon of gas is as follows:
3.75 gallons of gas = 127.5 miles
9.4 gallons of gas = 319.6 miles
12.6 gallons of gas = 428.4 miles
16.0 gallons of gas = 544.0 miles
To find the difference in miles per gallon, we can subtract the number of miles driven for each gallon of gas between the two brands.
For the first entry, Gabi can go 170.5 - 127.5 = 43 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas.
For the second entry, Gabi can go 316.2 - 319.6 = -3.4 fewer miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas.
For the third entry, Gabi can go 372.0 - 428.4 = -56.4 fewer miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas.
For the fourth entry, Gabi can go 449.5 - 544.0 = -94.5 fewer miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas.
So, on average, Gabi can go approximately 43 - 3.4 - 56.4 - 94.5 = -111.3 fewer miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
To answer this question, we need to compare the number of miles driven per gallon of gas for the two brands: Go Gas and Good Gas.

- With 9.4 gallons of gas, Gabi drives 319.6 miles.
- With 12.6 gallons of gas, Gabi drives 428.4 miles.
- With 16.0 gallons of gas, Gabi drives 544.0 miles.
To find out how many more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses Good Gas, we need to find the difference in the number of miles driven per gallon between the two brands.
Calculating for each amount of gas, we get the following differences:
For 5.5 gallons of gas, Gabi can go 170.5 miles with Go Gas and 127.5 miles with Good Gas. The difference is 170.5 - 127.5 = 43 miles.
For 10.2 gallons of gas, Gabi can go 316.2 miles with Go Gas and 319.6 miles with Good Gas. The difference is 319.6 - 316.2 = 3.4 miles.
For 12.0 gallons of gas, Gabi can go 372.0 miles with Go Gas and 428.4 miles with Good Gas. The difference is 428.4 - 372.0 = 56.4 miles.
For 14.5 gallons of gas, Gabi can go 449.5 miles with Go Gas and 544.0 miles with Good Gas. The difference is 544.0 - 449.5 = 94.5 miles.
Therefore, the number of more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses Good Gas for her car varies depending on the amount of gas. It could be 43 miles, 3.4 miles, 56.4 miles, or 94.5 miles.
