Mr. Anderson drove 522 miles on 15.35 gallons of gas. Mr. Gladden drove 548 miles on 15.22 gallons of gas. Which car is getting the better mileage per gallon? %C2%A0(6.RP.3.d)(1 point)
To find which car is getting better mileage per gallon, we need to calculate the miles per gallon (MPG) for each car.
For Mr. Anderson:
MPG = Miles / Gallons
MPG = 522 miles / 15.35 gallons
MPG ≈ 34.02
For Mr. Gladden:
MPG = Miles / Gallons
MPG = 548 miles / 15.22 gallons
MPG ≈ 35.99
Comparing the MPG values, Mr. Gladden's car is getting better mileage per gallon.
To find out which car is getting better mileage per gallon, we need to calculate the miles per gallon for each car.
For Mr. Anderson:
Miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Total gallons of gas used
= 522 miles / 15.35 gallons
≈ 34.01 miles per gallon
For Mr. Gladden:
Miles per gallon = Total miles driven / Total gallons of gas used
= 548 miles / 15.22 gallons
≈ 35.95 miles per gallon
Comparing the two calculations, we can see that Mr. Gladden's car is getting better mileage per gallon, with approximately 35.95 miles per gallon, compared to Mr. Anderson's car, which is getting approximately 34.01 miles per gallon. Therefore, Mr. Gladden's car has better mileage per gallon.
To determine which car is getting the better mileage per gallon, we need to calculate the mileage per gallon for each car.
To find the mileage per gallon, we need to divide the number of miles driven by the number of gallons of gas used.
First, let's calculate the mileage per gallon for Mr. Anderson's car:
Mileage per gallon for Mr. Anderson = Miles driven / Gallons of gas used
Mileage per gallon for Mr. Anderson = 522 miles / 15.35 gallons
Next, let's calculate the mileage per gallon for Mr. Gladden's car:
Mileage per gallon for Mr. Gladden = Miles driven / Gallons of gas used
Mileage per gallon for Mr. Gladden = 548 miles / 15.22 gallons
Now we can compare the mileage per gallon for each car:
Mileage per gallon for Mr. Anderson = 522 miles / 15.35 gallons ≈ 33.97 miles per gallon
Mileage per gallon for Mr. Gladden = 548 miles / 15.22 gallons ≈ 35.98 miles per gallon
Comparing the two values, we can see that Mr. Gladden's car is getting a better mileage per gallon since it is approximately 35.98 miles per gallon, compared to Mr. Anderson's car which is approximately 33.97 miles per gallon.
