You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you is blue. It can travel 41 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. Another car is red. It can travel 22 2/5 miles on 4/5 gallon of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car? Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline?

a)

For blue: 33 1/5 miles per gallon

For red : 28 miles per gallon

b) Blue car

Step-by-step explanation:

You are running a fuel economy study.

The unit rate for miles per gallon for each car?

For Blue

It can travel 41 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline.

1 1/4 gallons = 41 1/2 miles

1 gallons = x

x = 41 1/2 miles ÷ 1 1/4 gallons

x = 33 1/5 miles per gallon

For red

Another car is red. It can travel 22 2/5 miles on 4/5 gallon of gasoline.

4/5 gallons = 22 2/5 miles

1 gallons = x

x = 22 2/5 miles ÷ 4/5 gallons

x = 28 miles per gallon

What is Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of .

gasoline?

The blue car

d? maybe

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!
