ollege to home and used 15 gallons of gasoline. Whose vehicle had better gas mileage? [5]
2 answers:
Find the unit cost (that is, the number of miles per gallon of gas) in each case.
Case 1:
290 mi
------------- = 12.5 mpg
23.2 gal
Case 2:
225 mi
------------ = 15 mpg
15 gal
Kehinde's car got the better mileage: 15 mpg versus 12.5 for Femi's car.
to find miles per gallon we simply do D/G
D = distance
G = gallons
290/23.2 = 12.5 mpg
225/15 = 15 mpg
Kehinde has better gas mileage.

= 572000
If k is a constant of proportionality then we know from last week that
512= k ·32 so k=512/32=16;
This week
448= k · amount he saved
448=16· amount he saved
amount saved=448/16=28
