The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.
I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.
the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.
When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours
Answer: 1.25 times as far
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem requires you to find something called the unit rate.
Getting the unit rate for Car A is very simple, and can be found to be 25mi/gal.
To find the unit rate for Car B, simply look at the second row. Because the car can go 60 miles on 3 gallons of gas, divide both these numbers by 3 to get 20mi/gal.
Then, simply multiply both of these numbers by 11 to get 25 * 11 = 275, and 20 * 11 = 220.
Then, by doing 275/220, you get your answer: 1.25.
Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
