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 number of miles driven for each gallon of gas for both brands.
For Go Gas:
Average miles driven per gallon: (5.5 + 10.2 + 12.0 + 14.5) / 4 = 11.8 miles per gallon
For Good Gas:
Average miles driven per gallon: (3.75 + 9.4 + 12.6 + 16.0) / 4 = 10.45 miles per gallon
Therefore, Gabi can go 11.8 - 10.45 = 1.35 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car. Answer: \boxed{1.35}.
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 mileage data for both brands.
Let's look at the first table:
Good Gas:
Gallons of Gas Miles Driven
3.75 127.5
9.4 319.6
12.6 428.4
16.0 544.0
Now let's look at the second table:
Go Gas:
5.5 170.5
10.2 316.2
12.0 372.0
14.5 449.5
To find the miles per gallon for each brand, we divide the miles driven by the gallons of gas:
For Good Gas:
Miles per gallon = Miles Driven / Gallons of Gas
For Go Gas:
Miles per gallon = Miles Driven / Gallons of Gas
Let's calculate the miles per gallon for both brands:
For Good Gas:
3.75 gallons -> 127.5 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 127.5 / 3.75 ≈ 34 miles per gallon
9.4 gallons -> 319.6 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 319.6 / 9.4 ≈ 34 miles per gallon
12.6 gallons -> 428.4 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 428.4 / 12.6 ≈ 34 miles per gallon
16.0 gallons -> 544.0 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 544.0 / 16.0 ≈ 34 miles per gallon
Now let's calculate the miles per gallon for Go Gas:
5.5 gallons -> 170.5 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 170.5 / 5.5 ≈ 31 miles per gallon
10.2 gallons -> 316.2 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 316.2 / 10.2 ≈ 31 miles per gallon
12.0 gallons -> 372.0 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 372.0 / 12.0 ≈ 31 miles per gallon
14.5 gallons -> 449.5 miles driven
Miles per gallon = 449.5 / 14.5 ≈ 31 miles per gallon
Comparing the miles per gallon for both brands, we can see that Gabi can go approximately 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 both brands.
According to the provided tables, the average miles driven per gallon for Good Gas 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 calculate the average miles per gallon for Good Gas, we divide the total miles driven by the total gallons of gas used:
For 3.75 gallons: 127.5 miles driven / 3.75 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
For 9.4 gallons: 319.6 miles driven / 9.4 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
For 12.6 gallons: 428.4 miles driven / 12.6 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
For 16.0 gallons: 544.0 miles driven / 16.0 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
Based on the calculations, Gabi can go 34 miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
Now let's calculate the average miles driven per gallon for Go Gas using the provided tables:
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
For 5.5 gallons: 170.5 miles driven / 5.5 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
For 10.2 gallons: 316.2 miles driven / 10.2 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
For 12.0 gallons: 372.0 miles driven / 12.0 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
For 14.5 gallons: 449.5 miles driven / 14.5 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
Therefore, Gabi can go 34 - 31 = 3 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
