Answer:
Car will travel 139.375 miles extra compared to SUV using 12.5 gallons of gas.
Step-by-step explanation:
The gas mileage of an SUV is 15.25 Miles per gallon.
Mileage of SUV = 15.25 Miles per gallon
The gas mileage of a car is 26.4 Miles per gallon
Mileage of car = 26.4 Miles per gallon
We need to find how much farther will the car travel if both vehicles use 12.5 gallons of gas,
Distance traveled by car using 12.5 gallon gas = Mileage x Volume of gas
Distance traveled by car using 12.5 gallon gas = 12.5 x 26.4 = 330 miles
Distance traveled by SUV using 12.5 gallon gas = Mileage x Volume of gas
Distance traveled by SUV using 12.5 gallon gas = 12.5 x 15.25 = 190.625 miles
Extra distance traveled by car = 330 - 190.625 = 139.375 miles
Car will travel 139.375 miles extra compared to SUV using 12.5 gallons of gas.
