Based on the tables showing the number of miles driven per gallon of gas for two leading gas brands, Gabi determines that she should buy Good Gas instead of Go Gas. How many more miles per gallon can she go if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car?
(1 point)
Gabi can go 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 miles driven per gallon for both gas brands.
From the "Go Gas" table, we can see that the miles driven per gallon are as follows:
5.5 gallons of gas --> 170.5 miles driven
10.2 gallons of gas --> 316.2 miles driven
12.0 gallons of gas --> 372.0 miles driven
14.5 gallons of gas --> 449.5 miles driven
From the "Good Gas" table, we can see that the miles driven per gallon are as follows:
3.75 gallons of gas --> 127.5 miles driven
9.4 gallons of gas --> 319.6 miles driven
12.6 gallons of gas --> 428.4 miles driven
16.0 gallons of gas --> 544.0 miles driven
To find out how many more miles per gallon Gabi can go with Good Gas, we can subtract the miles driven per gallon of Go Gas from the miles driven per gallon of Good Gas. Let's calculate for the last entry:
For Go Gas: 14.5 gallons of gas --> 449.5 miles driven
For Good Gas: 16.0 gallons of gas --> 544.0 miles driven
The difference in miles driven per gallon is: 544.0 - 449.5 = 94.5 miles
Therefore, Gabi can go 94.5 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 Good Gas instead of Go Gas, we need to compare the miles driven per gallon for each brand.
For Go Gas:
5.5 gallons of gas = 170.5 miles driven
10.2 gallons of gas = 316.2 miles driven
12 gallons of gas = 372 miles driven
14.5 gallons of gas = 449.5 miles driven
For Good Gas:
3.75 gallons of gas = 127.5 miles driven
9.4 gallons of gas = 319.6 miles driven
12.6 gallons of gas = 428.4 miles driven
16 gallons of gas = 544 miles driven
To find the miles per gallon for each brand, we divide the miles driven by the gallons of gas used:
For Go Gas:
170.5 miles driven / 5.5 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
316.2 miles driven / 10.2 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
372 miles driven / 12 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
449.5 miles driven / 14.5 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
For Good Gas:
127.5 miles driven / 3.75 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
319.6 miles driven / 9.4 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
428.4 miles driven / 12.6 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
544 miles driven / 16 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
By comparing the miles per gallon for each brand, we can see that Gabi can go 3 more 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 for the two gas brands. Let's find the average miles per gallon for each brand:
For Go Gas:
- The first row shows 170.5 miles driven with 5.5 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 170.5/5.5 = 31 miles per gallon.
- The second row shows 316.2 miles driven with 10.2 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 316.2/10.2 = 31 miles per gallon.
- The third row shows 372.0 miles driven with 12.0 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 372.0/12.0 = 31 miles per gallon.
- The fourth row shows 449.5 miles driven with 14.5 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 449.5/14.5 = 31 miles per gallon.
For Good Gas:
- The first row shows 127.5 miles driven with 3.75 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 127.5/3.75 = 34 miles per gallon.
- The second row shows 319.6 miles driven with 9.4 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 319.6/9.4 = 34 miles per gallon.
- The third row shows 428.4 miles driven with 12.6 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 428.4/12.6 = 34 miles per gallon.
- The fourth row shows 544.0 miles driven with 16.0 gallons of gas, so the average miles per gallon is 544.0/16.0 = 34 miles per gallon.
From the calculations, we can see that both brands have an average of 31 miles per gallon for Go Gas and 34 miles per gallon for Good Gas. Therefore, Gabi can go 3 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
